Literacy-Friendly Waiting Areas

Reach Out and Read Carolinas is working hard to enhance and ensure the quality implementation of the evidence-based Reach Out and Read program model in all our Reach Out and Read programs. One important aspect of this model is the literacy-rich waiting area. Here you will see the renovation of waiting areas across the Carolinas to become more focused on books and literacy resources for families. THANK YOU to the many generous funders and supporters who have made these waiting areas a reality for the families we serve.

Help create a literacy-friendly waiting area!
