The New Orleans Public Library has partnered with the Center for Development and Learning, a Louisiana-based non-profit organization, to promote at-home reading through literacy awareness, book distribution, and direct-service to families. The Louisiana Reads! initiative aims to tackle the literacy crisis through quality content delivery to caretakers of children, promotion of active parent engagement, and building community partnerships.
To sign up, parents and caregivers can visit www.pathlms.com/cdl and click on Louisiana Reads! to access parent engagement videos and earn books sourced through Young, Black & Lit, a Chicago-based non-profit organization committed to increasing access to children's books that center, reflect, and affirm Black children.
Available in June and July
