Thanks to reporter Ryan Matoush at KTWO-TV in Casper, Wyoming Reads got some great coverage on the news this week! Enjoy this video with program founder John Jorgensen on how this program came about and what it does for children’s literacy.

Wyoming Reads was recently honored by the Library of Congress with a State Literacy Award, after being nominated by the Wyoming State Library through its Center for the Book Program. Although the event had to be postponed this year due to the pandemic, they are working to make sure this year’s batch of first-graders get their books to keep, read, and cherish.
