Have You Met "Mr. Will Read"

About LCCT - Board of Directors - Have you met Mr. Will Read?

Armadillo Will Read Picture

Mr. Will Read, our reading armadillo, was created by Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist Ben Sargent. From the infectious delight on Will’s face as he reads his favorite books, the Central Texas community will know our mascot as the perfect literacy ambassador.

Mr. Will Read makes appearances on behalf of the joy of learning at public events and has allowed his likeness to adorn any public space that endorses literacy.
