Portage County Literacy Council

As a child refugee with parents who didn’t speak English, I spent countless afternoons and weekends at the public library, discovering new words and new worlds, building my English skills one page at a time. Reading became one of the most powerful tools in my journey to learn English, grow, and find my place in a new world.

At the Portage County Literacy Council, we see the same transformation happening in our adult learners every day. This May, we're celebrating "Get Caught Reading" Month and the lifelong impact of literacy.

So go ahead, grab a book and get caught reading!
