SUMMARY:African American Read-In
DESCRIPTION:Join us online for a community celebration of African American 
 authors!\n\nThis interactive\, multigenerational program will celebrate 
 black authors\, literacy\, reading\, and diversity in literature.  Join us 
 to listen or let us know you're interested in being a reader when you 
 register. \n\nReadings may include short essays\, passages from novels\, 
 poetry\, children's books\, or other types of writing. If you're interested 
 in reading\, please choose a family-friendly selection that resonates on a 
 personal level and practice reading your piece out loud ahead of time.  To 
 accommodate as many readers as possible\, selections should be no more than 
 2-4 minutes when read aloud. \n\nWhen you register you will have the option 
 to request a Book Bundle containing a selection of titles that highlight 
 African American authors and illustrators.  Bundles are prepared by library 
 staff and can be created for children or adults. If you request a Book 
 Bundle\, you will also receive a FREE tote bag from the library full of 
 goodies for all book lovers.  Book Bundles can be picked up at all three 
 KCPL locations.  The library will contact you when your Book Bundle is 
 ready and you will be able to pick up through our Library To Go 
 service.\n\nLooking for more ways to celebrate?  Check out the Black 
 History Month Challenge on the library's Beanstack page. \n\nThis event is 
 co-sponsored by Sumner Hall\, Washington College Department of Education & 
 Black Studies Program\, and Kent County Public Library.\n\n\nThe National 
 African-American Read-In is the nation’s oldest event dedicated to 
 diversity in literature. It was established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of 
 the National Council of Teachers of English in order to make literacy a 
 significant part of Black History Month.
