Reading Has Never Been Sweeter!

Join the Library and PBS’ The Great American Read to make a candy-filled diorama, recreating your favorite fictional scene!

Bring a shoebox, and we will provide the candy and crafts to create your vision. When you’re finished, enter your masterpiece in our contest (K-5, Teen, or Adult), judged by our Librarian and PBS staff for a chance to win fabulous prizes!

Hosted by Meredith Vieira, The Great American Read is an eight-part PBS series and nationwide campaign that explores and celebrates the power of reading, told through the prism of America’s 100 best-loved novels, as voted on by the public. It investigates how and why writers create their fictional worlds, how we as readers are affected by these stories, and what these 100 different books have to say about our diverse nation and our shared human experience.
