Adele's Literacy Library – Bringing the Joy of Reading to All Kids!
Like many teenage girls, Adele Taylor has a passion for reading. However, for Adele, simply reading on her own was not enough. Adele’s passion for reading made her realize that all kids should be able to have the gift of reading, and that reading could help kids be successful in life. And that inspired her to action….
When she was thirteen, Adele decided to begin an organization called Adele’s Literacy Library. The goal of her library was to make sure all kids could have books and come to share in her love of reading. Today, Adele’s Literacy Library has donated thousands of books to kids, helping them believe, as she does, that “through reading…..ALL things are possible”!
In this video, Adele talks about her inspiration for creating her literacy library.
