An excerpt from the August/ September 2010 issue of Reading Today:

The International Reading Association (IRA) celebration of International Literacy Day will truly be a global one in 2010. IRA will host two webinars to commemorate the day. One will be on September 7 at 7:00 p.m. EDT and the other on September 8 at 8:00 a.m. EDT.

IRA President Patricia A. Edwards will be present along with the executive committee to mark the occasion. In addition, leaders from the Rotary International (RI) will participate to highlight the link between IRA and RI and to promote literacy in communities around the world.

To learn if there is an RI club near your council, or to sign up for the webinar, contact IRA at irawash@reading.org.
