On Friday, February 1st several Councillors and the Mayor of Prince Edward County visited the County Kids Read book room. Coffee, treats and conversations about literacy filled the room. The low literacy rates in the County and the response to this issue by the County Kids Read project was discussed by volunteers and council.
Thank you to the council for taking the time to visit and learn about County Kids Read.
