Where can I find my local RWD program site?

Accepted Answer

Since its conception, and with the exception of Summer 2020, RWD has been hosted at our local libraries. As a result, our learners have regular, easy access to library books and resources! In the past, we have partnered with select libraries from: Santa Clara County Library District, San Francisco Public Library, and San Jose Public Library. Check out our list of partners on our location page.(https://www.readwritediscover.org/locations)
