Manatee Library works closely with the Suncoast Campaign for Grade Level Reading and Manatee County Schools on literacy initiatives that help children achieve satisfactory reading skills by the time they reach the third grade. The library provides support via outreach and reading rooms and through literacy kits, programming, and other resources.
