Join us for a Back-to-School Literacy Celebration!
Wichita Public Library, Wichita Collective Impact, and United Way of the Plains are teaming up to host a lively and family-friendly Back-to-School Literacy Celebration at the Maya Angelou Branch Library!
Enjoy free hamburgers and hot dogs hot off the grill from the Wichita Wagonmasters, and dance along to tunes spun by DJ 3 Fingers. Kids and families can pick up free books and fun giveaways (while supplies last), and explore a variety of community resources designed to help families start the school year strong.
Meet representatives from organizations including:
Pando Initiative
Kansas Children's Service League
Prime Fit
WSU CLEAR
WSU Trio
Urban League
...And more!
At 11:00, the Wichita Public Library will do a drawing to learn which Summer Literacy League reader has won a free bike for their summer reading efforts!
Come celebrate literacy, community, and a great start to the school year. We can't wait to see you there!
This event is made possible through generous support from the Wichita Public Library Foundation and the Friends of the Wichita Public Library
