Family Read Aloud Nights Are Back! MAKE WAY FOR BOOKS presents Family Read Aloud Nights in partnership with the Pima County Public Library. These are scheduled in neighborhood centers and library branches throughout Tucson. Family Read Aloud Nights are designed to benefit families with children 0-5 years old, but include materials and activities for older siblings up to 12 years of age. Click here to learn about our next event. We hope to see you there!
STORY TOWN On November 15, 2008, over 2000 people visited our Fifth Annual Story Town Family Literacy Festival on Jácome Plaza. This increase in visitors made it our biggest Story Town yet!
On Storybook Lane families can enjoy five different children’s stories read aloud in front of life-size scenery. Life-size storybook characters will also make appearances. Children will have the opportunity to be creative at Art Alley. Literacy Lane will highlight literacy organizations in Tucson. Public Library Place features Pima County Public Library’s services. Fun activities will take place within the children’s area of the library. Food and refreshments can be purchased on Snack Street. Live music groups will perform on Rhythm Road. In Nursery Rhyme Neighborhood, Nursery Rhyme characters will recite their rhymes and guide children through games and a book walk (a cake walk with books instead of cakes!). Children can also visit Post Office Place where they will send a letter to their favorite children’s book characters. View a slide show from past STORY
