Join us for a fun-filled children’s literacy event, where we will celebrate the joy of reading and promote literacy among children in our community! We are partnering with Way to Grow, Barnes & Noble and Picture Book Parade in a day filled with enhancement + excitement. From interactive storytelling sessions to engaging book-themed activities, there will be something for every young bookworm to enjoy. Get ready for face painting, crafts + even special appearances from some friendly faces.
Please join us for a book reading from one of our Minnesota children’s authors listed below! We invite you to purchase one of their books at our Barnes & Noble location and help us spread the joy of reading to children in our community. A percentage of sales will be donated back to MOA Community Foundation.
