International Literacy Day
This day aims to highlight the importance and value of literary education.
Reno is following up this weekend with a Literary Crawl.
On the agenda:
Nevada P.S. I love you Postcard Project.
UFOs and Ghost Stories
Biggest Little Divorce Capital
Oh, there's plenty more on the events calendar, but those are the main ones I want to catch.
From a city that loves its pub crawls, I just love this idea of celebrating our home, our authors and poets, our bookstores and museums.
From our Poet Laureate, Gailmarie Pahmeier.
So read, donate, volunteer, tutor - the UN considers literacy a key component of sustainable development. "For countries to be developed in a sustainable manner, they must assure that their citizens are able to function on a literate level, for their own benefit as well as the world around them."
