We had an incredible time celebrating National Drop Everything and Read (D.E.A.R.) at the McCormick County Library! Our families enjoyed a special story time with MCFS Board Member, Donna England, proving that when a community reads together, it grows together.

Thanks to our supporters, every child went home with a free book and a custom-made reading pillow with a built-in book sleeve—tangible tools to encourage "anytime, anywhere" literacy. By making reading a priority today, we are ensuring McCormick’s children are ready to succeed tomorrow.
