Boston Law Librarians Read to Children
Some Boston law librarians are organizing an event where librarians read the book Corduroy to children at a Boston school on Thursday, October 2. Remember that book: the pretty girl and her mother, the wonderful teddy bear, and the lost button? Thinking about it makes me grin. Information, including how to volunteer if you have time and they are still looking for folks, is in a Word document. It looks like there might be similar activities in other cities. What a great activity to celebrate the freedom to read during Banned Books Week!
The effort is in conjunction with Jumpstart, a non-profit working to benefit children. They are also seeking donations to buy children books. (Yes, I don’t normally mention organizations asking for donations, but it’s Banned Books Week and it’s a program for giving books to children … I guess I’m experiencing a moment of weakness …)
