We are celebrating School Librarians this month! voices.uchicago.edu/myveryow… @UnitedWayDE @UWGreaterNewark @TheNewarkPublic @NewarkLibrary @ALALibrary

Register for our event tomorrow: voices.uchicago.edu/myveryow…

Forgive my error, our Torrey Maldonado event is TOMORROW Tuesday at 8:30am CT. @TorreyMaldonado @bookelicious Register via our link in bio.

Our network partners have deep ties in their communities, and @UnitedWayDE is no different. @rysheemadixon, Wilmington, Delaware, city council member, spoke of her love for reading in recognition of the #MVOL 10th anniversary. #literacy

MVOL promotes intergenerational #literacy and encourages families to read together, to talk about reading, and to do other activities related to books and the written word. Our exec. dir. Duane Davis recorded his experience as a little reader growing up with readers. Take a look.

We can't thank the #MVOL schools enough for the last-mile efforts they take to get books to students. From California to Illinois to Delaware, they met the challenge posed by the #pandemic with creativity and commitment, as Ken Livingston of @UnitedWayDE explains. #literacy

They were the best of times... well, they were interesting times. A silver lining: the ways in which we loved each other. Todd Barnett of @UCCharterschool gives a glimpse of the student-teacher love shown during #pandemic book distributions. #MVOL #literacy #scholasticbookfair

In addition to presenting culturally reflective characters to young readers, books as windows can also teach kids how to problem-solve. #MVOL leader Duane Davis, exec. dir. of K12 education initiatives at @UChicago, teaches this quick lesson. (Uses teacher's voice. 🙂) #literacy

Great story from @tonydokoupil of @CBSThisMorning, who interviewed @reneewauthor. #MVOL agrees wholeheartedly with the metaphors: Books are a foundation, windows, mirrors, and seeds "that you want to nurture and grow over that child's life." bit.ly/3BPBx7K #literacy

We're celebrating 10 years of bolstering literacy and fostering a love of reading in schoolchildren. The #MVOL network makes this work possible. Thank you, @ChiPubSchool @UnitedWayDE @UnitedWayGMWC @TheDREAMProject Rosebud Fdn., Making Waves Fdn., and @Scholastic #literacy

Thank you @nbcchicago for covering our June book distribution. Thanks to @ChiPubSchool, @UnitedWayDE, @UWGreaterNewark, Making Waves, @TheDREAMProject, @UnitedWayGMWC, Rosebud Fdn and @Scholastic as well for their partnership and making our 10th yr. the best yet! #MVOL #literacy

Awesome @nps_peshine Thank you for getting books into the hands of little readers.

#MVOL head Duane Davis and Ken Livingston were interviewed on @WDEL! Davis and Livingston, who leads Get Delaware Reading at @UnitedWayDE, talked about MVOL's purpose and why this summer is a season of #literacy #enrichment. Take a listen ➡️ bit.ly/2Tl9ziE

Thank you! We work directly with @UCCharterSchool in #Chicago, and the work they do is remarkable. #summerenrichment #MVOL #literacy

Great work by our partners in New Jersey. We salute you @RidgeStreet for getting books to students. #summerenrichment #MVOL #literacy

#Twinsbook and #ParkerInheritance author @varianjohnson traded stories with #MVOL head Duane Davis on how their kids adapted to home life during quarantine. Parents of little and big kids will relate to his slice-of-life discussion. youtu.be/Udoo1JrnSdk #literacy #fathersday

The #coronavirus pandemic caused us to change the way we did things, if we didn't stop doing them altogether! Our partner in Delaware, @UnitedWayDE, adapted remarkably, and we salute them. See the interview we did with them. myveryownlibrary.uchicago.ed… #MVOL #literacy
