Read Around The Clock
Saturday, September 14 from 8 a.m. until Noon
Our annual 24-hour reading marathon has been caught in a time warp!
This year, we’ll be reading at six different stations throughout the Library for four hours. (Six stations times four hours equals 24 hours of reading!)
Whether you’d like to read, listen, or both, you can choose as many stations as you like and enjoy a variety of stories all connected by the theme of time travel.
Click here to see the schedule and what we’re reading.
If you’d like to sign up to read, let us know which shifts you’d like and we’ll add your name to the roster. You can stop in, call us at 315-853-2038, or email clinton@midyork.org.
After we’re done reading, we will have a big celebration!
This event is sponsored by The Waterville Times.
Thanks for a Great Summer!
