The World Library Foundation's newsletter for September 2020 (Volume 4, Issue 9). The Gift of Reading: for International Literacy Day on September 8, the stories of people who fought to read and the teachers who opened reading to others, from Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington to Sequoyah, Louis Braille, Helen Keller and Cora Wilson Stewart's Moonlight Schools. Also in this issue: the Executive Director's message, "Every Reader Was Once a Beginner"; The Mayflower at 400, on the ship's sailing from Plymouth on September 16, 1620, the Mayflower Compact and the peace with Massasoit; and from the Library Exhibits, The Klondike Gold Rush.
