The Northwest CT Chamber of Commerce held the 28th annual Read Aloud Day on February 13th and 14th. More than 400 volunteers, 11 of which were Dymax employees, read to more than 7,500 students in grades PreK-6 in Northwest CT. Each grade level read the same book, chosen by a group of library media specialists from area schools. The objective of Read Aloud Day is to make elementary students more aware of the importance of childhood literacy. Over the course of 28 years, the Northwest CT Chamber Education Foundation has donated over 10,000 books to classroom libraries around the region.
