Join us as we celebrate Black History Month with an African American Read-In! Families can enjoy a storytime, songs, crafts and refreshments in the Read Center-River Room.
From the National Council of Teachers of English website: The National African American Read-In was started in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English with a mission to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month. It aims to encourage communities to read together, centering African American books and authors.Â
