We design, co-host, and execute collaborative engagement opportunities that support families and school communities (birth- grade 8) in engaging with us and each other to enrich learning for students.

Read Across America

Celebrating a Nation of Diverse Readers

CLI hosted an exciting celebration of Read Across America Day in Philadelphia! Partnering with the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania, the Free Library of Philadelphia, and Read by 4th, CLI is proud to bring this awesome event to our community. Embracing the theme of RAA, “Create and Celebrate a Nation of Diverse Readers,” we spotlighted the rich diversity of literature that reflects our experiences and broadens our perspectives. We were joined by special guest and librarian Mychal Threets for a special reading of "Counting on Katherine: How Katherine Johnson Saved Apollo 13."
