Unplug & Play Family Literacy Week celebrates screen-free play and learning for families with young children. This year, you are invited to unplug and play from January 26 to February 2, 2025.
This annual event promotes family literacy and the importance of balancing screen time with offline activities. We encourage families (including adults!) to "unplug" from digital devices and engage in activities that foster reading, creativity, physical activity and meaningful connections.
The goal is to be present, nurture relationships and create lasting memories.
