Cambridge, Massachusetts, announces the 24th Annual Family Literacy Fun Day on Saturday, November 4th, to celebrate National Family Literacy Month as stated by the City of Cambridge.

Its target attendees are Cambridge families with children from birth to the 3rd grade, and activities will include talking, reading, singing, and storytelling, ending with a light to-go lunch.
Scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Cambridge City Hall, children will be freely given books and engage in fun activities. The aim of this gathering is to inspire a love of reading and literacy in to young children, by exposing them to a nurturing and supportive, environment full of stimulating activities.
