The Read Aloud Program is offered on the first Tuesday of each month of the school year. Parents must attend the program with their school-age children. Children are separated into reading groups, by grade. Each group will have a person reading aloud to them, followed by a discussion of what was read.
Registration will take place from 4:30 to 5 p.m. in front of the library, followed by the teens’ performance at 5 p.m. and age-group reading from 5:30 to 6 p.m. Free refreshments, prizes and books are offered on the lanai, after the event.
