Cocky's Reading Express Update

    Did you know that USC has a literacy outreach initiative? Hop aboard Cocky's Reading Express™ for books, storytelling, and fun! Cocky's Reading Express™ travels to Title I elementary schools across the state, performing unforgettable storytimes alongside our Carolina mascot. We seek to increase access to free giveaway books and encourage a lifelong love of reading in every student we meet. Last semester we teamed up with the folks at Little Free Library to launch our new Adopt a School program. This program partners local businesses, student organizations, and individuals with South Carolina schools for a year of literacy service. Together, we can make literacy a community effort.    Would you like to stretch your storytelling muscles in front of a crowd of students? You do not have to be local to Columbia to participate - CRE travels across South Carolina, and you can meet us at the school closest to you! Email Margaret Cook (cookmh@email.sc.edu) for more information.
