Dyslexia Friendly Libraries in Virginia
In 2019, through collaboration between Decoding Dyslexia Virginia and the Library of Virginia, a challenge was issued to librarians across Virginia to become more aware of dyslexia and its impact on children and adults. Librarians across Virginia (localities noted on pages two and three) engaged in the challenge during October – Dyslexia Awareness Month. This was a first step in establishing Dyslexia Friendly Libraries.
