Alamo Reading Council

Welcome to the Alamo Reading Council website.  The mission of the Alamo Reading Council is aligned with the missions of the International Reading Association and the Texas State Reading Association, to promote lifelong reading and quality literacy instruction.

Originally started under the name of the San Antonio Reading Council, our organization was chartered as the Bexar County Reading Association in June of 1957. The charter application indicated the association address as Our Lady of the Lake College and included an officer roster listing E.E. Arnaud as president, Mary Hull as vice-president, Lorena Haynes as   secretary, and Sister M. Catherine as treasurer.  On October 17, 1969, the name was officially changed to the Alamo Reading Council.

Your participation in our programs and literacy projects is welcome.  Check this website for updates on upcoming events.
