Our Mission
L.O.U. Reads is a group of local organizations and community leaders dedicated to ensuring all children in the Lafayette-Oxford-University (L.O.U.) community read proficiently by the end of third grade. The coalition focuses its collective energy and expertise on four main areas: school readiness, out-of-school time opportunities, attendance, and targeted efforts to promote grade-level reading.​​​​

We hope you can join us on Tuesday, April 22nd from 3-6pm at Avent Park in Oxford, Mississippi for our 3rd Annual Roll and Read Event.​​
