An annual statewide celebration of family reading as a great family activity. Local libraries plan a variety of events to reinforce the fun and value of reading. The Commission provides support materials for libraries hosting FRW events.

Idaho Family Reading Week has become a favorite annual event in public and school libraries around the state. The program has been sponsored by Read to Me since 1997 and is held every November. Each year a new theme is chosen for Family Reading Week. Publicly-funded public libraries and school libraries planning Family Reading Week events are encouraged to register online and receive a CD filled with planning and marketing information, programming ideas, literacy materials, and other resources to help them host a great FRW event.
