The Fort GreeneVille Chapter DAR held a storytime at the Greenville Public Library. Stories were read from the Elephant and Piggie Book series. Each child was given an animal character beanie hat, gift bag, and snacks. Besides DAR members reading to the children, the children participated reading along out loud and dancing. Also in honor of National Family Literacy Day, Greenville Mayor Bowers signed a proclamation.
The Daughters of the American Revolution is committed to literacy promotion by publicizing the implrtance of literacy at all ages. Education is one of the cornerstones of the National Society of the DAR. Across the country, Daughters are meeting the challenge and helping those with significant literacy needs to learn to read, to gain self respect and confidence, and to reach life goals that otherwise would not be obtainable.
