DAYLO Reads is a Diversity Awareness Youth Literacy Organization that fosters empathy through reading & community service. It was founded in Beaufort as a response to 97 book challenges and has expanded with chapters in several other schools.
The group is student facilitated with an advisor. They read and discuss diverse selections in a book club meeting. And they implement community service projects. Some of the projects have included:
- Collecting books for Little Free Libraries
- Teddy Bear Picnics to read picture books to younger children
- Writing Thank You notes to teachers and librarians
- Making/distributing Poetry Kits
- Supporting/promoting local, independent bookstores
- Contacting Legislators about censorship
- And more
