Reading Public Library: A Literary Lunch For Kids

READING- Book lovers unite! Reading Public Library will host a “Literary Lunch” on Saturday, June 4 for third to fifth-grade children.

Children are encouraged to bring their favorite books to share with the group so that everyone can learn about new books they might like, while enjoying pizza and drinks.

The lunch is being held at the Reading Public Library on 80 General Way and will start at noon and end at 1 p.m.

Call (781)942-6705 to register or visit the Children’s Room at the public library.

For those looking for a new children’s book, Reading Public Library now has books from the 2016-2017 Massachusetts Children’s Book Award list, a compilation of outstanding, recent children’s books put together by members of Salem State University.

The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate is this year’s winner. You can read more about it here.

Multiple copies are available in audiobook format, as well as digital downloads, in addition to print.
