Fort Worth, TX – Community Uplift, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities through education and outreach, is excited to announce the launch of its new literacy initiative, “Community Corners.” This program will see the erection of mini libraries throughout South Fort Worth, each dedicated to a beloved children’s book. The first “Community Corner,” dedicated to Dr. Seuss’ timeless classic, The Lorax, will be unveiled on September 14th, 2024, at 9:00 AM at Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church, located at 2951 Evans Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76104.
