About this Event

Join us for a Children's Day event where we celebrate and reflect upon the Freedom to Learn! The event will feature local author meet-and-greets, a hands-on bookmaking activity, a quiet room for rest and reflection, and resources from incredible partner organizations: Read by 4th and the PA Migrant Education Program. Register now for this free event!

There will also be FREE GIVEAWAYS of brand-new, high-quality, hardcover children's books. Multilingual titles will be available! A Book a Day takes great pride and joy in curating selections of diverse, beautifully illustrated children's book titles that foster curiosity in both art and literacy. At this Children's Day event, children will be able to choose from a wide variety of free books to take home! You can learn more about books we've previously shared with our community here.
