Happy International Literacy Day! Did you know that September is also National Literacy Month? There are so many ways to get involved and support local literacy efforts. Here are 5 suggestions happening right here in the city:
1. Sign-up for a library card with the Memphis Public Libraries or host a library card sign-up event.
