This October, the Casa Grande Public Library is launching its "Fall into Reading Program," aimed at encouraging children to engage with literature and rewarding their achievements with a festive event. Kids participating in the program must log their reading progress, with a goal of reading for at least 7 days. Those who meet this goal will receive a special "Read-and-Bead necklace" by the end of the month, as per the City of Casa Grande website.
To receive the necklace, children must visit the library in person. The program will culminate in a Dia de los Muertos event on November 1, featuring a range of culturally rich activities. The event will include a storyteller, a mariachi band, folklorico dancers, and treats along with face art for added fun.
This program helps children improve their literacy skills while engaging with cultural traditions. The Dia de los Muertos event connects the community by honoring heritage and promoting a sense of togetherness.
Parents looking to sign their children up for the Fall into Reading Program should plan to visit the Casa Grande Public Library throughout October. For further details on the reading program or the Dia de los Muertos celebration, interested parties are encouraged to visit the library's website.
