Happy Sunday, Welcome to August!
Literacy Coalition was only able to host its first literacy festival yesterday, Saturday August 1st, 2026, because of its caring staff who labored with love, local and regional authors who traveled to share their works and experience, local and regional vendors who came to share their skills and specialties, volunteers who worked and made the space safe and the whole day special, and supporters and special friends of literacy.
