SOUTH BALDWIN LITERACY COUNCIL

The South Baldwin Literacy Council hosted its annual Trivia Night Fundraiser with this year’s theme, “Folklore & Fairytales.” Guests enjoyed seven rounds of trivia, a live auction, a silent auction, and plenty of fun throughout the evening. SBLC staff joined in on the theme by dressing as Disney Princesses and our Prince. It was a wonderful night of community, laughter, and support for literacy. Thanks to our generous supporters, $35,000 was raised to provide literacy services to individuals and families throughout Baldwin County.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council is proud of Krissy May for representing SBLC at the 2026 MEGA Conference in Mobile!

Krissy was selected to participate in an ARI (Alabama Reading Initiative) panel focused on Coaching a Better Reader and the importance of partnerships between families, schools, and the community. Krissy shared how SBLC’s partnerships with schools throughout Baldwin County, including Stapleton School, are helping families build confidence and support their children’s reading at home through the Coaching a Better Reader Family Academy.

We are grateful to ARI for including SBLC in this important conversation and proud of Krissy for representing our organization and the work we do in our community!

The South Baldwin Literacy Council recently visited Grow Early Learning’s Loxley campus to read with students and provide books for them to take home. We make these visits three times a year, and they have quickly become one of our favorite traditions.

This visit, we read ¡Eso es mío! / That’s Mine! and loved seeing the children’s excitement as they received their own books.

We were also proud to support Grow Early Learning’s upcoming graduation and literacy event with a donation. We are grateful for this partnership and the incredible work they do for children and families in our community.

Together, we are building a more literate Baldwin County—one child, one book, and one story at a time.

The South Baldwin Literacy Council was honored to participate in Day of Caring with United Way of Baldwin County!

Volunteers from Ascend Performance Materials spent the day at our campus building two beautiful new gardens. We are so grateful for their time, hard work, and dedication to giving back to our community.

A special thank-you to Abbott’s Greenhouse for providing the plants and helping bring these gardens to life!

We are thankful for the volunteers and community partners who continue to help make SBLC a welcoming place for our students, families, and community.
