The East Baton Rouge Parish School System encourages all students to read every day.  We know that reading is fundamental to learning. Children who read more do better in school. Our goal is for every student to become a capable reader and to develop a love of reading.

We invite you to join with us in working to reach that goal by encouraging your children to read at least 30 minutes daily, by reading to and with them, and by involving them in reading activities in the community through the public library Reading Clubs and other local organizations. Together we can make Baton Rouge “A Community of Readers.”
