Posted by: Neely Tucker

The Library’s 2024 Literacy Awards recognized four top honorees from around the world for their work in promoting a love of reading, language preservation and literacy lessons in refugee camps, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden said yesterday on International Literacy Day. The year’s awards recognize work in six countries and in more than a dozen spots across the United States. The top four winners were rewarded with a total of $350,000, and 20 other efforts received smaller awards.
