FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

About Ulster Literacy Day: Saturday, 23 September 2023
Ulster Literacy Day aims to raise awareness of the need to increase the levels of literacy in Ulster County because we know that literacy transforms communities. • The event takes place at participating bookstores in Ulster County. Each bookstore will donate 10% of all the day’s proceeds to Ulster Literacy Association (ULA). These funds will go to support adult literacy programs. • Examples of ULA programs: • Individualized tutoring. • Tutoring at correction facilities. • Tutoring remotely. • Tutoring to families. • Tutoring in digital literacy. • This is the second of what we hope will be an annual event. The first Ulster Literacy Day took place in 2022.
