Georgia Council on Literacy

We’re proud to partner with the Georgia Council on Literacy—alongside the Georgia Municipal Association and Georgia City Solutions—for the Georgia Reads campaign, a statewide initiative recognizing and supporting community-driven efforts to advance literacy. As part of the campaign, our signature literacy program, READBowl, helped students across Georgia rack up over 61 million reading minutes, and more than 11,000 books were distributed to children throughout the state! Together, we’re inspiring a love of reading and empowering communities across Georgia to build a brighter, more literate future
