Happy International Literacy Day!

In my ongoing monthly series of little-known holidays, September 8 marks International Literacy Day, celebrating and promoting literacy all over the world.

Created by the United Nations, International Literacy Day is promoted by the UN's UNESCO. According to their website: "The aim is to highlight the importance of literacy to individuals, communities and societies."

I'm a pretty serious bookworm, so it is my great pleasure to highlight a few literacy-inspired items by our talented CCCOE team members.

Felted Wool Messenger Book Bag by OhMay

Kitten on Keyboard bookmark by SoBayBaubles

Woman on Couch original painting by LindaKellyArt

Key to my Heart Journal by boundbyhand

Bookworm card by KitKatCards

Copper Bookmarks set of 4 by visionquest

Bulldog Vintage Page Silhouette by scratchandsniff

Happy Reading! from Janet of CustomSepia
