"When you think of literacy, you may just think of reading books, but this literacy center will provide wrap-around services, everything from enabling health, work all sorts of things that will help to uplift the community in so many ways," said President and CEO of Storytime Village Dr. Prisca Barnes.
The plan is to open the center next fall.
A $5 million grant from the Kansas Children's Cabinet and Trust Fund is paying for the project.
