  • GCCPC holds annual Read Greene Read community readings

    The Greene County Children’s Policy Council held its annual “Read Greene Read” event on Sunday, December 7, 2025, at the Eutaw Activity Center. The event highlights the Policy Council’s tradition of reaching out to the community while supporting the SPOT After School Tutorial Program. Since its inception in 2022, Greene County CPC Chairman, Judge Lillie Jones-Osborne has sought creative ways to magnify the urgent need of reading for children and adults in Greene County.

    Beautiful Christmas decorations adorned the center beginning in the foyer and throughout the building. SPOT students and community participants read their favorite Christmas stories. A delicious meal was served, toys were distributed, and family photos were taken with Santa. All families in Greene County are encouraged to continue to make reading a priority in their homes daily.

  • The One Book- One Community Reading a Huge Success

    The “Read Greene Read” held its first One Book- One Community reading on March 2, 2022. The guest artists were local author Jocelyn Steel and illustrator Mynecia Steele. Jocelyn Steele read and discussed her book “The Square Nose Pig.” The event was held via Zoom. Over 150 individuals registered for the event.

    The event was sponsored by The Greene County Children’s Policy Council, The Greene County School System and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc., Greene County Cultured Pearls Interest Group. According to Judge Lillie Jones-Osborne the next reading will take place in May 2022 and we are inviting all of Greene Countian to join the “Read Greene Read” campaign.
