Florida State Parks Promoting Literacy
Jackson County Floridian (FL)
In conjunction with International Literacy Day on Sept. 8 and National Library Card Sign-up Month, gate entrance to all of Florida's state parks will be free on Friday, Sept. 10 through Sunday, Sept. 12 for visitors who bring a library card, library book or who donate a new or gently used family book. "Florida Literacy Month is a perfect reminder that reading and writing can be enjoyed in many settings, including the outdoors," Florida State Parks Director Donald Forgione said. "Reading a nature-themed book at a Florida State Park is one example of an exciting way for students and adults alike to learn about the environment while improving literacy skills."
