Episode Description from the Publisher

On this bonus episode sponsored by the Grable Foundation, we're talking about a local push to make sure every child has access to the books they actually want to read, plus adults who can foster a love of reading. "Won't You Be a Reader" brings together more than a dozen organizations and civic leaders to help young readers thrive, through everything from free book fairs to community reading events. Casey Mindlin, the campaign's co-chair, and First Lady Katie O'Connor join executive producer Mallory Falk to discuss the campaign's successes so far, what else is in store, and why everyone should care about our region's literacy rates.
