Celebrate Pennsylvania's One Book, Every Young Child Reading Initiative @ Schlow!

Celebrate One Book for Every Young Child! April's activities at Schlow Library support Pennsylvania's Early Literacy Initiative featuring Whose Shoes? A Shoe For Every Job by Stephen R. Swinburne! Meet the author at March 22nd's Shoe Party!

 

• This April Centre County children will all be reading the same book, Whose Shoes? A Shoe for Every Job, by Stephen R. Swinburne. Be on the lookout for special events fostering early literacy!
• PA's One Book, Every Young Child reading initiative is an award-winning statewide effort that encourages adults to share books and stories with children. Throughout the state, including here in Centre County, young children will have a chance to read, to learn from the book, and to enjoy conversation and the many other activities that spring from reading.

ACTIVITIES @ SCHLOW!

• TUESDAY, MARCH 22 @ 6:30: A Shoe Party! Meet author Stephen Swinburne - a special event for young readers that helps reading feel very personal. Learn more about his book and enjoy interactive Shoe Fun along with Shoe Cake! Explore what shoes can tell about someone's job, hobbies, or personality.
