Need Inspiration?

  • Start a book drive at your school. What types of books will you collect? Where will you donate them?
  • If you have a friend or schoolmate who’s struggling with reading and writing, ask how you can help.
  • Write letters to local leaders asking them to do more to promote literacy in your community. What groups or events need more attention and funding?
  • Ask a school or public librarian for information about the library’s literacy programs. Is there a way you can support these efforts?
  • Know multiple languages? Read a book with someone who wants to learn one of them.
  • Need help getting started? Talk to an adult or a friend to find an idea that feels right for you.
