MEDIA RELEASE

The Friends of the Libraries, Kona hosts a free read-aloud program: “Books are Building Blocks” from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 6 at the Kailua Kona Public Library.

This program will continue to be offered the first Tuesday evening of each month and will give families the opportunity to enjoy books being read aloud for children ages 5-18.   

The adults will have their own reading group and must attend the program with their children (no exceptions).  

There will be five separate reading groups: ages 5-7, ages 8-10, ages 11-13, ages 14-18, and their parent(s).

Each group will have a person reading aloud to them, followed by a discussion of what was read.

Registration is 4:30-5:15 p.m. in the library lobby. Families will then separate into groups with a reader. 

Afterward, the families will meet on the lanai for refreshments, prizes, and a book swap.

FOLK is seeking volunteers with a dramatic flair to read aloud to children or adults. Whether you commit to one time or ongoing readings, your help is needed and appreciated.  

To pre-register, volunteer, or for more information, contact Lisa Thomas at 443-1093 or e-mail folkhawaii@yahoo.com.
