ILA Local Council Achievement Award
The Local Council Community Service Award honors a local, student or special interest ILA council for outstanding service to its community and literacy. Many unique ideas have been realized through such community projects. Examples include information packets for parents of newborns, programs and materials for children and adults living in shelters, and reading promotion activities for the local library. These projects reach beyond their immediate community and become models that others can adapt to meet literacy needs outside the classroom. Read more and find application form at ILA's Site.
