Families are strongly encouraged to register for perks such as free books, snack vouchers, swag and/or raffle tickets!

For a small donation, we invite community orgs & businesses to bring a blanket, staff and books for an afternoon of reading with community youth!

We are looking for community members who want to join our team as a volunteer!
