Resource Fair Highlights 2024 | Readers in Training

On June 8, 2024, members of the public joined us for our second annual Readers in Training Resource Fair at DISCOVERY Children's Museum. Guests enjoyed face painting, cosplayers, free giveaways, a live DJ, and read aloud sessions in an effort to support Spread the Word Nevada's birth-to-five literacy program, Readers in Training.

Spread the Word Nevada is a children’s lit­er­acy non­profit, 501 (C)(3) cor­po­ra­tion, ded­i­cated to advanc­ing early child­hood lit­er­acy by plac­ing books into the hands and homes of chil­dren within Nevada’s at-risk, low income com­mu­ni­ties. While devel­op­ing a love of read­ing, these libraries pro­mote future aca­d­e­mic achieve­ment and self-confidence, which impacts life­long success.

Since 2001, Spread the Word Nevada has dis­trib­uted more than 7 mil­lion gen­tly used and new books to more than 830,000 low-income youth in Nevada.
