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

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." .#literacy.

Thank you! We work directly with @UCCharterSchool in #Chicago, and the work they do is remarkable. #summerenrichment #MVOL #literacy.
Thanks to the My Very Own Library Program, UChicago Charter students in grades PreK-8 will continue to create their very own libraries next month, thanks to the gift of new, age-appropriate books from the University of Chicago. Each child gets 10 books! Thank you @mvolibrary!

#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. #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. #MVOL #literacy.
