Reading is cool
November is a great time to “fall” in love with a new book- especially when it’s free!
Since the first “Reading is Cool” Book Fair, held this past July, was such a big success, with almost 600 books going home with kids of all ages, “We are going to do it again!” says Superior resident Lauren Figdore.
During the Second Friday event on November 10th, from 4-7 pm, there will be a whole new assortment of hundreds of FREE gently used books for children from preschool through high school age. A limited number of books for teachers will also be available.
Sue Anderson, president of the Superior Chamber of Commerce, is again happy to donate space at the Chamber office at 165 Main Street for this free event. Save Money Market has donated bags for readers to take home their new treasures.
Hilda Cardenas, Site Manager for the Superior Headstart, a sponsor of the Book Fair, will be on hand to help children make appropriate selections. “This book giveaway is a great opportunity for parents and their children to have books without having to spend money,” said Cardenas.
“I’m a big advocate of reading to young children. Reading helps to develop so many skills- vocabulary, creativity, problem-solving, focus and confidence. These skills help set up children for success in school,” she said. “I hope parents take advantage of this free opportunity to build a home library!”
