Welcome to Allied Drive Literacy Time

Allied Drive Literacy Time is the place where SLIS students and librarians from across the UW-Madison campus provide book-based programming to Kindergarten, First Grade, 2nd Grade, and 3rd Grade children. Programs take place at the Allied Drive Learning Center, which is run by Madison School & Community Recreation (MSCR).

If you love kids and books are looking for experience planning and executing youth service outreach programming, then Allied Drive Literacy Time is the place for you!
