Stories
from the Porch-Building a World of Books
Patch/Banning-Beaumont: 9.03.2017 by Luren Dickinson
Join
Beaumont Library for its 8th annual “Stories from the Porch – Building a World
of Books” program from 10 a.m. to Noon on Saturday, September 23, in
celebration of International Literacy Day.
The
program encourages community leaders, community members, literacy volunteers, library staff and/or
adult learners to read their favorite children’s book from the “front porch” of
the library. Readers may bring their own book or read one we supply, or tell a
story, read a poem, sing, dance, or play an instrument.
The program will draw attention to the problem of low literacy and illiteracy
among adults (1 in 5 adults in the United States has low literacy skills). This
means they are unable to complete job applications, read notes home from
school, or administer medication properly.
