An annual statewide celebration of family reading.

This year is all about folktales, fables and family story telling.

As of 10/13, we have received 116 requests for this program and are therefore out of supplies for this program. The application will remain open as advertised if you want to still register your event (this will help give us a better idea of demand for this program for next year) and, of course, the free resources linked below are available for all to use. Thanks for understanding!
