📚 Fun, Games, and Free Books! 🎈

We had a great time at the Gilmer County Schools Family Literacy Night!

Our Kids Ferst of Gilmer volunteers loved seeing so many smiling faces and celebrating the magic of reading with our community.

It was a busy day of Vitamin-L (Literacy!):

📖 Books Galore: We gave away tons of books to eager young readers.

🎨 Get Creative: Kids tapped into their inner artists by making their very own custom bookmarks.

🎯 Game On: Our bean bag toss was a hit with the high-energy crowd!

📬 New Readers: We are thrilled to announce that seven new children were enrolled to start receiving free books in the mail every month!

A thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth.

We’re so proud to help grow the next generation of readers right here in Gilmer.

Reading aloud for just 15 minutes a day isn't just about the story—it’s about giving your child the tools they need to succeed for the rest of their lives.
