Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury Unveils Storymobile
Did you know that Waterbury, Connecticut—a city of about 109,000 people—has just two public libraries?

Last month, Literacy Volunteers of Greater Waterbury, in partnership with many community organizations, unveiled a new Storymobile.

Give Local Greater Waterbury and Litchfield Hills was instrumental in filling the Storymobile’s shelves.
