MIFFLINBURG — The Keystone State Literacy Association Susquehanna Valley (KSLA SV) hopes that visions of reading and books dance through the heads of youngsters in the Susquehanna Valley.

During the holiday season, KSLA SV sponsors a Books for Babes program for young readers in an effort to spread the love of reading. Children who receive these books are enrolled in Early Head Start, Northumberland Area Head Start, Pre K Counts, and Early Intervention Preschool Programs in Columbia, Northumberland, Montour, Snyder and Union counties. The Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit (CSIU) assists by distributing books to the various classes.
