Reading Nook Contest

The Bulloch County Literacy Council's annual Reading Nook Contest encourages comfortable places that are set aside where children can enjoy reading. They can be as simple as a corner of a room or a special chair with a basket of books. Reading nooks encourage reading and reading aloud to children, especially those ages birth to five-years-old.

Learn more about the 2022 contest going on February 14 through March 2, 2022.

Participants (parents, family members, teachers or caregivers) upload a digital photo of themselves reading with a child, ages infant to five-years-old, in their favorite reading nook, to the online contest area of the Statesboro Herald's website during the contest period. 

The community can vote online at the same website, and winning entries are featured inside the Statesboro Herald at the end of Read Across America week.

The contest has been sponsored for the past two years by Kids World Learning Center, a strong supporter of the Bulloch County Literacy Council and its Bulloch READ initiatives.
