Event Description:
Families are invited to join TCPL and author and community educator Alan Blansktein for "Ithaca Guys Read."
“Ithaca Guys Read” will feature an elite group of male readers who will share some of the stories that inspired their love of reading and literature. It has been modeled after “Guys Read,” a web-based literacy project designed to help bridge the literacy gender gap by encouraging boys to become self-motivated readers.
Program partner Blankstein is an award-winning author and the founder of the HOPE Foundation, a not-for-profit organization committed to creating learning communities where student success is the only option.
“Ithaca Guys Read is free and open to boys and girls ages 3 through 10. Each program will be followed by a craft and refreshments.
