NSU Library Promotes Literacy with FREE Reading Programs for Children and Families
In celebration of NSU’s Alvin Sherman Library’s 10th anniversary, we honor the theme LITERACY.
Recent statistics from the Literacy Coalition of Broward County indicate that 22% of Broward County residents are illiterate. We know that by reaching children early, we can help break the cycle of illiteracy. Our goal at the Alvin Sherman Library is to begin enhancing the love for reading and learning through rich programming and events.
For example, our Family Literacy University, encourages early literacy for children starting at birth. The program includes: Sharkey’s Storytime Fun and Little Minnows followed by a session for parents, which provides tips and tricks to get your child ready to read. In addition, our Live at the Sherman Library fosters a love for culture through rich interactive performances.
The Alvin Sherman Staff is committed to stomping out illiteracy with innovative and enriching programs that serve everyone. Our programs are FREE and open to the public. In addition, anyone working, living or going to school in Broward County may apply for the greatest gift ever…a library card.
Help us stomp out illiteracy by getting the word out about the Alvin Sherman Library. Together we can make a difference in someone’s life…one book at a time.
