Grab the kids for some indoor, educational fun THIS Saturday!
“Around the World in 180 Pages” is the theme for The Junior League of Springfield’s 2nd Annual Literacy Fair, a FREE event which will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, January 30, 2010 at the Lincoln Library in downtown Springfield.
This year’s event will feature children’s activities and crafts from countries around the world with each activity linked with a children’s book highlighting the culture and traditions of that area of the world. There will also be a reading circle that morning with Springfield area residents from different cultures reading and sharing stories about their countries and traditions. Representatives from local literacy agencies will also be on hand.
“Our literacy fair is really exciting this year as it highlights children’s literature from around the world,” says Jennifer Deaner, Community Council Vice President for the Junior League of Springfield. “We are excited about our reading circle featuring Springfield area readers sharing their heritage and traditions. Children will also have a chance to experience children’s literature and different cultures through hands-on activities and crafts.”
Enjoy!
