What a meaningful day at the 2026 Bibb County School District PBIS Back-to-School Bash! 📚

The Macon-Bibb Mayor's Literacy Alliance was delighted to partner with the Bibb County School District once again as we welcomed another opportunity to support the amazing children and families in our community.

It was our privilege to sponsor and distribute books to families during the event. Watching children eagerly select books and seeing the smiles on the faces of parents and young readers alike was a powerful reminder of why literacy matters. Every book shared represents another opportunity to inspire a love of reading.

We are proud to complement the district's ongoing efforts to promote literacy, encourage family engagement, and help ensure every child has access to books and the joy they bring.

Thank you to the Bibb County School District for allowing us to be part of such a wonderful event. Together, we are connecting resources for a stronger community, one family and one book at a time.

✨ WHAT A FANTASTIC EVENING! ✨

Tonight’s session of the Family Learning & Empowerment Literacy Series focused on the theme, "Writing Our Story: Responsibility & Expression." Families explored how writing can be used as a powerful tool for communication, accountability, and leadership.

What a treat! MBMLA had an incredible time joining NewTown Macon’s Trick-or-Treat Celebration! We were honored to be part of such a meaningful event for families in the Macon-Bibb community and even more thrilled to share the magic of reading by distributing 2,700+ books to children and families. Together, we’re building a brighter, more literate future — one story at a time. 📕📚🎃
