"A book is a gift you can open again and again." – Garrison Keillor 📚✨ Our Pathway Program's literacy support initiative pairs volunteer Reading Buddies with young readers to build bonds that inspire a love for books and lifelong learning. Each story shared is more than just words on a page—it’s an opportunity to spark imagination, growth, and connection. 💙 Thank you to all our amazing Reading Buddies for making a difference, one book at a time! The Pathway Program is supported by the Mecklenburg County Government with funds from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). #TheMeckEffect
