As we celebrate the 60th anniversary of International Literacy Day under the theme, “Literacy for people, the planet and prosperity,” we encourage Bahamian students and our wider diaspora to embrace reading as a pathway to knowledge, opportunity, and lifelong learning.

This year, we challenge you to read a Bahamian book, explore our folklore, or discover the work of a Bahamian author - because within our literature are the voices, experiences, and stories that help define who we are as a unique, peaceful, and thriving people.

Read Bahamian. Celebrate Our Heritage. Embrace Learning.
