World Read Aloud Day

Rose City Book Pub 1329 NE Fremont, Portland

For 11 years, World Read Aloud Day has called attention to the importance of sharing stories and fostering literacy by challenging participants to grab a book, find an audience, and read aloud. This year, First Book Portland is teaming up with one of our favorite businesses to further our efforts to support literacy in our community. Rose City Book Pub will feature a reading from local children’s book author and illustrator Kate Berube for your listening enjoyment! The pub offers a large selection of literature, books by local authors, nonfiction, and children’s books—not to mention great food and beer! Please join us to hear stories, support literacy, and grab a bite or brew. COST: $5 donation (all proceeds will go to First Book Portland)
