There were lots of whiskers and hats as children attended a special program in honor of Dr. Seuss’ 105th birthday. Sponsored by Concerted Services, Inc. Literacy Action Program and the Okefenokee Regional Library System, children and their families had the opportunity to participate in a Read Across America. Over 100 children and their families attended the event at the Ware County Public Library.
“The Cat In The Hat,” better known as Carol Clarke, Literacy Coordinator for CSI Child Development Services, read the book “The Cat In The Hat” and “Fox In Socks.” After the read aloud children helped to decorate a giant birthday card honoring the famed author. Family Advocate staff from the Ware County Head Start Center and members from the Friends of the Library were on hand and provided face painting for the children. Children were able to complete other literacy projects and everyone received a certificate honoring their participation in Read Across America.
“We were thrilled to collaborate with the Okefenokee Regional Library System,” reports Letta Cox, CSI Resource Specialist. “We want to thank members of the Friends of the Library who assisted with the event, Harvey’s Supermarket for the donation of the paper used to make the giant birthday card, and the children and parents who helped celebrate this great event!”
