As part of the Virginia Children’s Book Festival held on Oct.16 – 18 at Longwood University, the University’s Chapter of the National Student Speech-Language and Hearing Association (NSSLHA) held a Literacy Fair for area school children to help students learn the importance of reading. During the fair, students were given the opportunity to choose their very own book to take home with them.
