Lacey Loves to Read Community Author Reception

It’s time for the 13^th year of Lacey Loves to Read! This award-winning, community literacy initiative is a unique partnership between NTPS, Lacey Timberland Regional Library, City of Lacey and Lacey South Sound Chamber, plus countless other business and local sponsors. The annual Lacey Loves to Read Bookmark Contest is a highlight of the program, featuring artwork from all NTPS schools as well as several community winners. Special thanks to our school teacher-librarians and visual art teachers who helped facilitate the contest and encourage student entries. 

Students will get a chance to meet Newbery Honor author and poet Kwame Alexander, (www.bookinaday.org) who will visit Lacey February 18-19. After the school visits will be a  big community author reception which is free will be at 6 p.m., Feb. 18 at the Lacey Community Center and will include an opening performance by River Ridge High School Jazz band, snacks and book signings – plus much more!
