"Dover Reads" 2010

"Dover Reads" is a citywide reading project, sponsored by the Dover School District Community Involvement Committee, which encourages everyone to read the same book to promote a sense of community and the joy of reading. This year, the committee has chosen Zachary's Ball by Matt Tavaras. In the story, Zachary goes to his first Boston Red Sox game with his Dad where they catch a ball and something magical happens.

Join us for a fun-filled kick-off bookfair celebration at Barnes and Noble in Newington, NH on Friday, January 22, from 4:00-8:00 pm. No purchase is necessary to attend but a portion of all sales (with voucher you may pick up in the Children's Room) will go to support Dover Reads 2010. This is a great time to use those holiday Barnes & Noble gift cards!

The schedule of events is:
4-8 pm---Meet Matt Tavares, author and illustrator of Zachary's Ball
4-5 pm---Listen to barbershop quartet sing old time tunes
4-8 pm---Kids' crafts (make and take a baseball pennant!)
6 pm---Story time (hear the author read his books, Zachary's Ball and Henry Aaron's Dream)

The Dover Reads Committee has donated 10 copies of Zachary's Ball to the library. All copies will be available for check-out by January 22. Reserve your copy today!
