Family Literacy Program Receives READ Pinellas GrantThe Pinellas Public Library Cooperative’s Born to Read program was recently awarded a $ 250 grant from READ Pinellas to support family literacy programming and materials. These funds will support Born to Read families throughout Pinellas County through their public libraries.

Children’s books, parenting guides and other literacy resources will be purchased with these funds to benefit those individuals in the Pinellas community.
