Each year, World of Reading transforms Barnett Family Park into an immersive, story‑inspired environment where children explore books, cultural experiences, hands‑on activities, and interactive learning stations. The event is completely free to the public, and every child receives books to take home. We will have Jack Hartmann, Face Painter, Balloon Artist, Snacks, and more!
