My Own Book Makes the Holiday's Bear-y Nice

Start: Dec 17 2008 - 8:00pm

End: Dec 17 2008 - 9:15pm

Timezone: Etc/GMT-7

Teen volunteers will be on hand at Bransford Elementary School's holiday musical performance evening to read and let the children pick out books. We picked this evening because we wanted the entire family on hand to see that reading is fun! We are also letting each child enter our drawing for one of five FIVE FOOT TALL teddy bears complete with a teddy bear book.
In addition, we've teamed up with Hi 4-H to have crafts and cookies on hand for the families. This should help make the event great!

Share the Joy of Reading

Start: Feb 1 2009 - 2:00am

End: Feb 28 2009 - 2:00am

Timezone: Etc/GMT-7

My Own Book is hosting a national 'Share the Joy of Reading' event for the month of February. We are encouraging adults and teens to buy their favorite children's book and read it to a child. In addition, we'd like them to give the book to the child. On our website at www.myownbook.net we will have a place for folks to share their experiences. We'll also be supplying bookplates to people so that they can personalize the books they give out.
