The event brought together this year\u2019s winners and honorees, members of the Literacy Awards Advisory Board, and Library of Congress staff. In addition to the awards ceremony, attendees exchanged ideas on implementing various literacy initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purpose of today is twofold,\u201d said Carla Hayden. \u201cThe first is to celebrate your outstanding achievements, and the second is to inspire each other by making meaningful connections and increasing our collective impact in promoting literacy.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the event, participants had a unique opportunity to establish contact with other awarded organizations from different parts of the world, working for the benefit of reading. The meeting allowed for the presentation of FPC's own activities and learning about the mission and achievements of others, exchange of experiences and reflections on pro-reading projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

"The symposium organized by the Library of Congress was undoubtedly a wonderful event. We are very happy that as the Universal Reading Foundation we could participate in it. In today's world of very fast communication, dominated by digital culture and online activities, live meetings take on even greater value. The opportunity to exchange ideas, ask colleagues from the industry about important details of their work is invaluable. All this in the scenery of the largest library in the world - it was an exceptional experience," says Maria Deskur, president of the FPC.<\/p>\n

The Library of Congress Literacy Awards have been held for 12 years and are used to select organizations that have demonstrated an extraordinary contribution to increasing reading. The Universal Reading Foundation is the first organization from Poland to receive this distinction. It has been recognized for its effective work on behalf of groups and communities that are at risk of exclusion for various reasons.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
