Celebration of Reading: A local event for Read Across America

The Student-Pennsylvania State Education Association (S-PSEA) will hold an event called Celebration of Reading, which is part of the Read Across America initiative.

During the event, there will be guest readers, a young author’s contest, and other reading-related activities.

Local businesses related to reading and children attend and set up information tables for the children to visit.

The event will be held at the Capital City Mall on Saturday, March 19, 2011 from 10-3.

If your library wants to participate or attend the event and/or set up an information table where children may be able to learn more about your libraries and how they can join, let me know and I can provide email contact with one of the organizers.

One of the organizer’s (Andrea) says: “I think that children (and adults) could really benefit from this information and we would love for you to share in the fun of our event.”

Let me know, or post what you plan to do below!

(More information was also sent via email to library leaders in the West Shore area.)
