Sit Stay Read

⏰ One week away — come find us at the CPL Volunteer Fair!

We'll be at the Chicago Works | Chicago Volunteers Fair at Harold Washington Library on July 15th, 3–6 PM — and we want to see you there! 🐾

Stop by the Winter Garden on the 9th floor to meet the SitStayRead team and learn how you can get involved in early literacy in Chicago. 📚

Wishing everyone a mellow and cool evening as Pride Month comes to a close. The SitStayRead family is so grateful and proud of our current and past staff, volunteers, board members, interns, and partners who identify as LGBTQ+ We could not do the work we do without the generosity and joy of this 🌈 of talent and commitment to universal literacy. Thank you.

Our Tuesday/Thursday virtual Spanish classroom conversation practice continues today at 12-12:30pm, and all summer for current volunteers. Check the SitStayRead Volunteer Google Calendar or today's email from the Bloomerang app for the Zoom link or contact [email protected].

We had a wonderful time joining Brightpoint at their Summer Block Party! ☀️📚🐶

Our volunteers and dog teams loved connecting with families, sharing free books and school supplies, and helping inspire a love of reading in our community.

Thank you to Brightpoint for hosting such a fun and meaningful event, and to everyone who stopped by our booth! We’re grateful for the opportunity to support families and celebrate literacy together.
