New Mexico’s Literacy Problem

In New Mexico we face many challenges to combat one of the lowest literacy rates in the U.S. We believe that giving Children’s Books away for the Holidays will give early readers the opportunity to develop of love of reading.”Based on a statewide population of 1,954,599 and a 46% functionally illiterate population, it is estimated that 899,115 adults are in need of literacy services” NM Coalition for Literacy.
