Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy (CBAL) and the Kimberley Public Library are seeking nominations for this year’s Literacy Champion.
CBAL Community Literacy Coordinator, Carol Fairhurst said, “we are surrounded by those in our community who help support literacy in its many forms.”
The CBAL is looking for someone who takes time reading stories to children and seniors, raises funds to purchase books, provides kind donations to literacy causes, or volunteers at events and programs.
“A champion may be a person(s), group, organization or business in Kimberley and the [surrounding] area,” said Fairhurst. “Champions are everywhere [and] we encourage individuals of all ages, children too, and organizations to nominate their champions.”
Nomination forms are available at the Kimberley Public Library and the CBAL office at 370 Wallinger Avenue, or online at cbal.org/kimberley. They are accepting nominations until Tuesday, June 6.
