MEDIA RELEASE

The Friends of the Libraries, Kona will host a free read-aloud program, “Books are Building Blocks,” 4:30-7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 9 at the Kailua Kona Public Library.

Parents must attend this program with their children. Participation is limited to the first 75 people.

The program is designed to encourage family literacy. There will be five separate reading groups: ages 5 to 7, 8 to 10, 11 to 13, 14 to 18, and their parents. Each group will have a person reading aloud to them, followed by a discussion of what was read.

Registration will take place from 4:30 to 5:00 p.m. in front of the library. Families will then separate into groups with a reader from 5:00 to 6:00. Afterward, the families will meet on the lanai for free refreshments, prizes and books.

To volunteer, sponsor, preregister or for more information, contact Pamela Wang at 323-2117 or e-mail FOLK@folkhawaii.com. You can also visit our website at www.folkhawaii.com
