Books Come to Life Through Book Blast Event at Jefferson Valley Mall

On Saturday, March 7, Jefferson Valley Mall is hosting its annual Book Blast event and inviting parents and children to bring books to life through special read-aloud sessions, giveaways and story-inspired activities.

Jefferson Valley Mall is also teaming up with Better World Books to provide each child who attends the event a pre-loved book and bookmark to take home, while supplies last.

Book Blast will provide families the chance to make reading a fun, social experience with various kid-focused offerings. Book Blast event activities will kick off with an exciting read-aloud session presented by local librarian Robin, from Reed Library of Carmel, NY, scheduled from 12:00 to 1:30 p.m. A springtime theme will be emphasized and the session will include puppets and a special paper flower craft, fashioned from beads and cupcake wrappers. Children are also invited to bring a new or gently used book to the event to be donated to Reed Library of Carmel, helping families give back to their own communities.
