Slide into a good book for Philadelphia Literacy Day! 📚

Some of you may not know, but the late Dolly Parton's incredible mission to get books into the hands of every child found its way to Philadelphia as well. Her legacy continues as free monthly books are still being sent to children in West Philly, which will impact many generations to come. At Smith, we also value children's literacy programs both here and in the community. We hope to see you later today at ' Block Party!
