About Reach Out and Read Georgia

Reach Out and Read Georgia is a coalition of sites throughout the state of Georgia. Our coalition started in 2000 with several sites in the Savannah area, and has grown from a regional coalition to one that encompasses all parts of the state. All recognized sites in the state are members of the coalition and are welcome to join and take part in our exchange of ideas; in addition, sites that are part of the coalition are able to take part in state-wide fundraisers and receive books, support, and oversight from the coalition director.

For more information about becoming a site, or any other Reach Out and Read business in Georgia, please contact Renee J. Ross at 516-426-7808.
