Family Reading Night
Family Reading Night is on Thursday, November 21 2019. But, instead of focusing on reading for one night of the week we are going to make an event of it for the week.
What is Family Reading Night? It's an event sponsored by Illinois Secretary of State and State Librarian, Jesse White, and the Illinois Center for the Book. Family Reading Night is an annual statewide event held the third Thursday in November every year to encourage families to spend quality time reading together.
Starting Monday, November 18 through Friday, November 22 we are encouraging families to come into the library and pick out reading materials. While you're here we will give you a take-home craft and a bag of popcorn to enjoy while reading & crafting together.
Once you're finished be sure to snap a quick selfie & send it to us and hashtag it: #FamilyReadingNight
