Book Review Writing Contest

Do your kids and teens love reading and talking about books? They could win $100 in cash and be our guests of honor at a special celebration - all about reading - on Saturday, April 1 at James Weldon Johnson Park (across from the Main Library)! All we're asking them to do is write about their favorite book and tell us why other people should read it. The most persuasive book review from each age group (K-2, 3-5, 6-8, and grades 9-12) wins!

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! Come dressed as your favorite book character and join us for a parade around the park. Enjoy fun activities, face painting, balloon twisting, and so much more! Plus, start building your own home library you can read anytime you want with a free Book Giveaway sponsored by READ USA (until they run out)! Free boxed lunch from Firehouse Subs will be provided!
