LAL Submissions Due January 12

With the holidays and the end of the fall semester upon us, we write with a gentle reminder of the Thursday, January 12 deadline of the 2022-23 Letters About Literature program in Massachusetts. (Earlier submissions are always welcome!)


Letters have been coming in, and as always, we look forward to reading what young people in the Commonwealth are reading and thinking about!

Info Session: Thursday, January 5, 4-5 PM


Join Program Coordinator Karolina Zapal at our final virtual "office hours" if you have any questions about the program or the submission process. Drop in as your schedule allows between 4:00 and 5:00, but please register for the zoom link.
