LAWYERS' COMMITTEE JOINS LITERACY PROJECT

The Virginia Bar Association's Lawyers for Literacy committee has become involved with Family Reading Connections, a Bell Atlantic/ALA Family Literacy project. Lawyers from a number of Roanoke Valley firms have volunteered to work in the program.

Family Reading Connections is designed to promote reading as an enjoyable family activity. The project consists of nine six-week sessions at various public library locations. The first session began Tuesday at the Williamson Road branch of the Roanoke Library.

Family Reading Connections is a joint effort of Roanoke Public Library, Roanoke County Public Library, Literacy Volunteers of America Roanoke Valley, and C&P Telephone. To volunteer, call Nancy Francisco at 342-1624. Families who want to enroll in the program may call Sarah Robush at 981-2340.
