I attended a wonderful community celebration last weekend. It was the 25th anniversary of Literacy Volunteers of Santa Fe and the unveiling of Santa Fe’s very own public transportation bus with a pro-literacy message of “Building a World of Readers, Artists, and Dreamers”. On the back of the bus a dinosaur is painted holding a sign that says: “Avoid Extinction: Read”. These are messages that warm every librarian’s heart. Led by nationally known graphic artist & cartoonist, Phil Yeh, twenty-five Santa Fe artists spent 16 hours to complete the masterpiece. When I see it on the streets I’m going to honk & wave; I encourage others to do the same.

Look for the New Mexico Coalition for Literacy info on the bus: 800.233.7587 -> they will connect non-reading adults with adult literacy programs around the state and the tutoring is free, confidential and one-to-one! Thanks for posting the article on the bus!
