Today, Jennifer Barbee, a West GA RESA Let's Read Georgia Literacy Coach, delivered some exciting new books into the hands of children in Meriwether County. During their quarterly meeting at Callaway Gardens, Let's Read Georgia Literacy coaches from across the state donated books for the Get Meriwether Reading program. This program provides early literacy resources, family learning activities, and community events that help every child thrive from birth through school‑age. By joining forces, we’re ensuring these books have a tangible impact—getting into the hands of children and families.
Together, we’re building stronger readers and stronger communities—one book at a time!
