Big things happening in Midway, Georgia!

Mayor Malcolm Williams officially kicked off the Mayor's Reading Club by visiting Liberty Elementary School and reading alongside kindergarten students.

The Mayor's Reading Club is a statewide initiative that harnesses the leadership of city mayors to strengthen literacy skills and foster a love of reading in children and youth across Georgia. When local leaders show up for kids, it makes a lasting difference.

Thank you, Mayor Williams and the City of Midway, for investing your time and enthusiasm in the next generation of Georgia readers.

What a wonderful morning in Toccoa! 📚☀️ We are so excited to celebrate Mayor Evan Hellenga and the City of Toccoa for participating in the Mayor's Reading Club! Families gathered on the lawn for a beautiful outdoor read-aloud, and Mayor Hellenga did an absolutely fantastic job connecting with the little ones in his community.

A huge thank you to MRC Program Coordinator Shantelle Grant for her incredible work making this event happen, and to our amazing partners at the Northeast Georgia Regional Library System and Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) for their continued support of early literacy across the state. The reading kit and the acknowledgment of Toccoa mean so much!

This is what community looks like. 💚 When mayors read, kids lead!
