The Read to Dream Experience

Calling all parents and families! Don’t miss our very first Read to Dream Experience at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center. This inspiring event, theme "Our Dreams Make the World a Better Place," will feature a special reading of Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman’s uplifting book, "Something Someday."

Bring your kids for an afternoon of joyful story-time, hands-on activities, and a vibrant pop-up bookshop! Plus, we’re thrilled to welcome the Governor’s Commission for African-American Affairs, who will be hosting interactive story-pods from 12pm to 1pm.

At The Young Dreamers’ Bookstore, we believe books have the power to assist kids in pursuing their dreams. We look forward to dreaming out loud with you and your young dreamer Feburary 28!
