Join us for a day of inspiration, storytelling, and fun at the 8th Annual Ruby Bridges Reading Festival, in partnership with civil rights icon Ruby Bridges-Hall. This enriching festival invites children from pre-K through elementary school, along with their families and educators, to come together in a celebration of reading, diversity, and community.
Children attending will have the opportunity to enrich their libraries with free books, while educators with a valid school ID can receive complimentary books for their classrooms. The Ruby Bridges Reading Festival features a variety of engaging activities including storytelling sessions, entertainment, and more, designed to foster a love of reading and highlight the importance of diversity and tolerance.
