Raleigh Literacy Fund Celebration
For the second year, the Raleigh Literacy Investment Fund is fueling literacy-building projects by and for the Raleigh community.
This year, 22 projects were submitted for consideration representing strength throughout the Raleigh area. With this year's six funded projects, Literacy Mid-South will have invested $80,000 in direct funding for Raleigh-based, literacy-building projects.
We'll celebrate these six projects with a check presentation and reception at the Raleigh Branch Library on Friday, May 24th at 10:30am.
