Friday, Mar. 22, 2013, is the extended deadline to submit nominations for the 28th Annual LAC Literacy Recognition Awards. With these awards, Literacy Assistance Center (LAC), located in Lower Manhattan, focuses attention on the accomplishments of individual practitioners and the literacy field.
This spring, the awards ceremony will be held on Monday, May 20, at the Theresa Lang Community and Student Center Auditorium of the New School. Located at 55 West 13 Street, on the second floor. It begins at 10 a.m.
