Hundreds Of Free Books Available To Kids At Literacy Fair

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, FL — Hillsborough County Public Schools plans to give out hundreds of free books on Saturday at the Early Childhood Literacy Fair.

This is an effort to get children excited about reading, and to keep their minds busy and healthy during the coronavirus pandemic.

The event is a drive-through event at Lanier Elementary School, 4704 West Montgomery Avenue, Tampa, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The Early Childhood Literacy Fair was spearheaded by Dr. Stacy Hahn, school board member for District 2.

“This event places magical storybooks into the hands of our younger students with the goal of igniting a love of reading," Hahn said. "Having their very own small home library is important as they continue on the path to becoming great readers. I believe one book can open a whole new world for a young child, and I am excited to be a part of the experience.
