For the Love of Reading Honored with 2026 Georgia Reads Community Award
Hosted by the Georgia Council on Literacy, the award is designed to recognize the importance of community approaches that involve meaningful partnerships in achieving literacy goals. Each recipient receives $20,000 to continue and extend work in literacy improvements.
The award celebrates the work of The Book Bug with support from local organizations, including Upson County Family Connection, Thomaston-Upson Schools, City of Thomaston, and Thomaston Housing Authority.
With our local programs and partnerships expanding, For the Love of Reading, Inc. has registered the trade name Thomaston-Upson Literacy Alliance to represent us in Upson County.
