African American Read-In Is Here!

February is a month to celebrate African American history. During the month we also celebrate by engaging in the Twenty-First National African American Read-In. The goal of the read-in is to make African American literacy a traditional part of Black History Month activities. It is a time when we celebrate literature by African-Americans, get acquainted with books we haven’t read, and share titles. It’s a once-a-year event that shouldn't be missed. Jefferson students will be participating in the Read-In. Parents are encouraged to participate as well, and to drop by the Jefferson Library for assistance in selecting books. Also, check out The Brown Bookshelf where a month-long series of interviews with creators of children's literature can be found.
