Read-A-Thon volunteers sought

April 1, 2008

Celebrate reading by sharing a story, poem or excerpt from a favorite book during the George A. Smathers Libraries’ Read-A-Thon. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on April 14-17 at the Plaza of the Americas between Library West and Smathers Library East.
The Read-A-Thon is a lively, fast-paced and casual celebration of reading during National Library Week. Volunteers will read for 10 minutes, in accordance with specific daily themes.
The second annual “Edible Book Contest” on April 16 will coincide with the Read-A-Thon. Anyone may enter an “edible book” to be judged and later eaten. Prizes will be given in various categories.
