LITERACY ACROSS HARLEM DAY On Tuesday, April 1, 2014, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., on the southeast corner of 125th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, Total Equity Now (TEN) will once again engage an intergenerational team of volunteers in promoting reading as a key component of who we are and what we do here in Harlem. For 90 minutes we will: hand out Literacy Across Harlem Day flyers; ask passersby about their reading habits; tell folks why we love reading and why its so important; and encourage others to carry their reads outside of their bags! Help Promote Reading in Harlem If youre affiliated with a school, youth-development organization, civic group, small business, or other entity and would like to join us for this fun, rewarding community-service project, please email [email protected] and let us know how many volunteers you plan to send/bring. Other Ways to #RockThoseReads on Tuesday, April 1st Tweet or Instagram a photo of your read of the day to @TotalEquityNow with the #RockThoseReads tag. Visit one of our Literacy Across Harlem Day partners--the community-minded, literacy-loving establishments listed below--and swap those reads (leave a gently used book and take one that another Harlemite dropped off).
