Scholastic Book Fair in Beaumont Saturday, March 2

If you're looking for new reads for your children, head on over to the Albert Chatigny Community Center on Saturday.

Several local organizations including the Beaumont Cherry Valley Rotary Club are sponsoring Celebrate Reading and the Arts, which will feature not only a Scholastic book fair, but games and activities for youth.

"Celebrate Reading and the Arts is a book fair and a fun day for children to be involved in educational and learning activities such as storytelling, arts and crafts, gardening, music and dancing," the Rotary Club said.  "Recreation reading is an important way to encourage children to learn, providing opportunities to stimulate their interests to explore a variety of subjects and improving reading skills, performance in school, prospects for careers and employment, and a life-time enjoyment of books."

The event runs from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the community center, 1310 Oak Valley Parkway.

Children will even get a free hot dog and beverage for coming out.

More details are on the flier attached.

"Celebrate Reading and the Arts 2013 is also a fund-raiser for the purchase of recreation books for the local elementary schools," the Rotary Club added.  "Our goal it to supplement each of the school libraries in the district with books for students from kindergarten through third grade."
