The Jacksonville Public Library is partnering with the Kids Hope Alliance, Duval County Public Schools, READ USA INC, and several other organizations to showcase the power of reading for kids around the city.

You know the power of a good book. And if you’re a parent, you know that it’s important for your kids to see you reading for enjoyment. But as adults, we’re all reading role models! The more we use the Library, talk about books, and attend awesome author events and book signings, the more literate (and well-read) Jacksonville becomes. That’s why we hope you’ll celebrate reading with your community.

Visit https://jaxpubliclibrary.org/tags/celebrate-reading-week to see the great lineup of events planned this week and join us at James Weldon Johnson Park, across from the Main Library, on Saturday, April 1 from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. for Family Reading Day with free book giveaways, fun activities, special guests and more!
