MORE: Muncie Outreach for Reading Education

Hey y’all, I’m going to have to hit pause on this program for a while. I’m struggling to find funding for the events and life isn’t allowing me to invest in the time needed to plan and execute the events for now. We will be back though!

🥳 While KCPL's Summer Reading Program doesn't start until June 1st, these great places are offering their very own versions of SRP goodies!

To learn more, visit their websites today.

[Note: The Kent County Public Library is not partnered with any of these organizations, we're just sharing so our patrons can get the most out of their Summer Reading!]

2 more weeks until our next event! Join America’s misunderstood bird (Pigeon) May 24th as we dive into the book The Pigeon Finds A Hotdog. As always, each kid will get a free snack and activity kit to complete at home or with us. Can’t wait to see you there! 📚

Can’t wait to see you all this Saturday for reading fun and an early Cinco de Mayo snack! 📚

🎉📚 Get ready for a clucking good time! 🐥🌶️

Join me on May 3, 2025, for an interactive read aloud of the book "Chicks and Salsa"! This isn't just any story time - it's a fiesta of fun, filled with lively characters.

Get ready to meet some feathery friends who are tired of chicken feed and ready for a culinary adventure. As I bring the story to life, you'll feel like you're right there on the farm with the chicks, cooking up some tasty salsa.

So, mark your calendars and prepare your taste buds for a story (and snack) that's sure to spice up your day! 📅🌮

See you there!

It was so nice meeting everyone tonight! I’m definitely excited for the future of this little program 🫶🏻📚

Did you know that in Muncie, only 26% of our elementary (and middle school) students are reading proficiently?!

I’m working hard to bump up that statistic by offering free read alouds. We now have a calendar of events so you can plan ahead! All events will be from 1-2p at the Common Market.

Looking forward to seeing you all today! Here’s a sneak peek of this week’s activity kits. We’ll be reading The Gardener by Sarah Stewart at 2! 📚🌱
