Read for the Record Event: October 6th 2011 - Sit Down to Read, Stand Up For Children

What is READ FOR THE RECORD? It is an annual worldwide campaign to celebrate the joy of reading to children.

On October 6th, 2011, children across the country will be reading Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney.

How is TTC participating? Students from the Community, Family and Child Studies program will be reading this book to children throughout the Lowcountry in schools and child care centers.

How can I participate? If you'd like to participate by reading to a child you know, check out a copy of the book from our library. We have a display on the second floor of the library at the top of the stairs. Or you can check to see if your closest public library has a copy on the shelf. No book? No problem! You can even read the book online from this site and be counted. Contact Ms. Grundy, Early Childhood Education Instructor at 574-6626 for more information, or to be included in the count for this year.

You can also stop by the Barnes and Noble Bookstore, 7620 Rivers Avenue at 6pm, October 6th with your little ones and participate in their reading and activities.

How many children participated last year? Last year, over 2,057,513 participated! For more information on Read for the Record, check out their website.

Help us break the record and join in on the fun!
