In partnership with Little Free Library®, South Texas Literacy Coalition (STLC) will install Little Free Libraries throughout South Texas communities with the goals of:
1. Creating relationships between reading and youth in our communities in order to foster the growth of literacy. 2.Provide free book resources to the community, in order to promote reading at home and pervade the benefits of literacy. 3.Encourage youth to become engaged year-round by providing access to printed books across several South Texas communities.
Through this collaboration, the STLC strives to create positive associations with literacy in the hope that youth and adults in South Texas develop a motivation and love for reading. Little Free Libraries will be filled with books ranging from pre-K to adult level and will be placed at local organizations, business, and community organizations across our region.
