Inspiring families to read and experience books together
A community reading project of Multnomah County Library
March-April 2009
Welcome to the third annual Every Family Reads!
Library staff created Every Family Reads to motivate families to read and experience books together. We encourage your family to participate by reading and discussing the featured book, The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! by Jon Scieszka. Author Jon Scieszka has won numerous awards for his many children's books and is now serving as the very first National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature.
Come to any Multnomah County library beginning March 1 to sign up and get your gift copy of The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs!. Books and materials are most appropriate for children in grades K-5.
To enhance your reading experience, the library will offer programs related to the book, such as the Book-It Repertory Theatre presentation of Fairly Stupid Tales, a visit from Jon Scieszka, and workshops involving buildings, fairy tales and more.
One of the most important things parents can do to boost the educational success of their children is to read to them. We hope this program will inspire you to set aside some time to read together, talk about books in your home, and visit your neighborhood library.
We look forward to hearing about your reading adventures!
Every Family Reads is made possible by The Library Foundation and the generous support of Meyer Memorial Trust, KeyBank and Comcast.
