October 2, 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. PDT
To
help raise awareness regarding the censorship of books, the San Diego Public
Library, in partnership with the San Diego Costume Guild, presents the 4th
annual All-Day Read-Aloud Read-a-thon on Friday, October 2, 2015 from 12 to 5
p.m. in the Garden Courtyard at the San Diego Central Library at the Joan Λ
Irwin Jacobs Common, located at 330 Park Blvd in downtown San Diego.
The
public is invited to read alongside librarians, volunteer and teen readers, and
special guests from the Costume Guild, who will appear as costumed characters
from many favorite books including Harry Potter and Alice in Wonderland.
“It’s
important to realize that not every book will be right for every reader,” says
library director Misty Jones. “The freedom to choose for ourselves what we want
to read is a hard-won right that we must not take for granted. Reading,
speaking, thinking and expressing ourselves freely are core American values.”
