Literacy Tea

This April students from the Intensive English Institute hosted a table at the annual “Marvin and Sheri Glazier Literacy Tea,” a fundraising event for the Literacy Volunteers of Bangor.

Our book choice was Luli and the Language of Tea by Andrea Wang. We used this to promote I’m Your Neighbor Books, a non-profit organization based in Portland, ME. I’m Your Neighbor Books cultivates welcoming behaviors and builds a sense of belonging in all our communities by increasing access to and engagement with Immigrant and New Generation children’s literature.

Everyone enjoyed the event and it was an interesting cultural experience!
