Hello we are reopening this month with fresh new office space, registration for summer programming, and lots of opportunities to volunteer.
A new coat of paint and LOTS of volunteer hours later...
The Collierville Literacy Council has a new waiting area for families and a bright new look, covering the bright red.

Many thanks to:
  • Leadership Collierville for purchasing paint and providing volunteers
  • many teens from Memphis-area high schools who painted for service hours
  • Sherwin Williams for a much-reduced cost
  • Town of Collierville for providing supplies

We would love for you to stop by to see our fresh new space during our Grand Reopening!
Summer Programs Begins Registration

Meet Celeste Riley, our Summer English Immersion Program Teacher.

Ms. Riley was born in Queens, NY, and moved to FL in her late teens. She's raised and homeschooled seven daughters. Ms. Riley moved to Memphis for her husband to complete his MA and then lived in NC for three years. She has served families in churches in all these states, and interpreted for migrant workers while in NC and in Guatemala for five years in a row. Ms. Riley has studied in Ireland, London, Poland, and Italy. She is in her fifth-year teaching Spanish K-5 at East Academy and will graduate from University of Memphis in Spring 2022 with a B.A. in Spanish and E.S.L. Ms. Riley loves to spend time outdoors with family and is called to serve underserved underrepresented populations. Si se Puede!

We are excited to have her enthusiasm and passion on our team!
Family Literacy Series - May 2021: National Mental Health Awareness Month
Throughout the month, we'll offer resources on our social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn to support mental health awareness and improvement for the whole family. We'll put that in action on May 23 with Goat Yoga and Snuggles.

Each month, we'll focus on a different theme for the whole family to learn and enjoy together. June's theme is on Summer Reading!
