Be a part of this great community event and read aloud at your local branch of Eastern Regional Libraries to help support local literacy groups. Each branch library will progressively host an hour of reading aloud.
How can you join in the fun?
Readers make a gold coin donation and register to read at their local branch library. If you prefer, you might like to sponsor a reader. All monies raised will go to local literacy programs.
