 Family Literacy Day

January 27th, 2012 is Family Literacy Day and this year the Jake Epp Library will be celebrating at the Steinbach Legion Hall (click for map).

Bring a pillow, a blanket or sleeping bag and join us for a pyjama party where local celebrities Corny Rempel and Michelle Sawatsky will read stories and sing lullabies.  Additional folktales and bedtime stories will be read by local citizens of 4 different nationalities.

The fun will start a 6:30 and every child will recieve a free book. Adults will be able to participate in a silent auction and everyone will get milk and cookies!

Special Treat: Scholastic author Larry Verstraete will be present for a brief reading and presentation.  He is the author of "At the Edge: daring acts for desperate times" and "Survivors: true death-defying escapes".
