🥲 We love you too, New York. Thanks for fighting for your public libraries. The FY25 budget adopted today by the New York City Council includes full restoration of funding for NYC public libraries. We couldn’t have done it without all of you!

Springboard Collaborative is closing the literacy gap through effective tutoring, parent workshops, and educator development. Ms. Poe, a dedicated P.S. 40Q teacher in South Jamaica, embodies their mission of transforming lives through education. #LiteracyMatters #CommunityImpact

Celebrating a milestone! 🎉 The Read Alliance Completion Ceremony at PS48Q was a heartwarming showcase of dedication and growth.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of the long and ongoing journey toward equality and justice. To help kids understand the significance of Juneteenth, we've curated a book list that brings this history to life. From inspiring tales of courage to reflections on freedom, these books are perfect for educating and engaging young minds. #Juneteenth #SummerReading #Literacy

What an inspiring day at the Annual GNY Award Ceremony and Resource Fair hosted by Reach Out and Read of Greater New York! 🎉 It was a privilege to join forces with ExpandED Schools and our incredible library partners, The New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library.
