Main Street Read First Saturday, Nov. 3rd, from
10am-2pm
Join us downtown on Courthouse Square, and bring a lawn chair,
pillow or your favorite stuffed animal to enjoy a good
book.....being read to you dramatically by the ACT kids and adults.
There will be three different age groups: children (inside the
courthouse), tweens & teens (at the memorial), and adults (on the
courthouse promenade). At the top of each hour, a different book of
a different genre will be read. The reading schedule will be posted
at the library, on the Chamber of Commerce window (it's there now!),
and in The Clipper by Nov. 1st. There is no cost to participate!
There will be a large "BOOK" Collection Box to collect donations
toward the Early Read Program, and it will be located in front of
the courthouse. This is the kick-off for the Early Read-a-Thon in
which Warren County students (public, private, and home schooled)
will get sponsors for even as little as a penny per page!, read
anything, and collect the money to go toward providing a book a
month for Warren County children ages 0-5 years who are enrolled in
Early Read through the Warren County Chamber of Commerce, Warren
County Family Learning Center, QUOLA, or the Warren County Public
Library.
Ask about signing up your child for the program and/or getting a
Reader's Kit for the Early Read-a-Thon by calling 706.465.9604 or
emailing
events@warrencountyga.com. Reading is the best way for children
to learn, so please help in getting them started early!
