Patrons of the Utah County Bookmobile were treated to a special guest on Monday, Aug. 31st, when First Lady Abby Cox joined the mobile library for stops in Genola and Goshen. Her visit highlighted the launch of the Utah Reads literacy campaign, which strives to inspire a love of reading and improve literacy rates among youth across the state through daily reading practices.
During her visits, First Lady Cox met with local community members, spent time reading with young patrons, and discussed the critical role bookmobiles play in bringing essential educational resources directly to rural communities.
It was an exciting day for readers of all ages to share their passion for books and connect over the joy of reading. To catch up on the highlights and view pictures from both event stops, check out the gallery of photos on the Utah Department of Cultural & Community Engagement website.
