We partner with Bernie’s Book Bank for their fundraiser Booksgiving events to celebrate the joy of books and reading. For us, this is a public relations event.
This year’s event is an Elephant and Piggie theme inspired by Mo Willems children’s books, along with fun activities and entertainment for families (sorting and sticker-ing books, live illustrations, the Chicago Bubble show, food & hot chocolate, dance breaks, photo ops with Elephant & Piggie).
There will be 2 sessions 10-12 and 1-3. K9RB teams will engage readers for only the last hour of each session.
As always, bring your activity bag that includes your mat. Do not distribute bookmarks at this event. You may, however, give a sticker to your readers. Have our K9RBNS and ATD brochures out to give interested parents, etc. If you need more, let me know before 10/25.
LOCATION: The team(s) will be situated in the Think Tank room, which has new carpeting, and will be set up as a dedicated reading space. Families/children will line up outside the room.The entrance to the room will be closed. There are sound curtains that will help separate the room from other activities, as needed.
DETAILS: The flow of readers will be managed. 3-5 minutes per reader . . . depending on how many children are there. One reader at a time is ideal, but sometimes a sibling may want to join. Parents, ideally, do not sit with their reader(s), but, of course can be in the room.
