Celebrate literacy with Orinda's first-ever all ages Read-A-Thon from Oct. 6-12. Sponsored by the Educational Foundation of Orinda and The Friends of the Orinda Library, the event is a fundraiser for the library as well as Orinda school libraries. Participants are asked to find sponsors who agree to donate for each minute read. There will be a variety of prizes for most minutes read and most money raised. Prizes range from gift cards to the Friends Bookstore to a hosted pool/pizza party for the children or for the adults a hosted wine and dine dinner party with a famous local author. There will be special recognition for participants who spend time reading to others in the Orinda community, for example those in senior homes.
All participants must meet the Oct. 15 deadline - either online or by turning in their hard copy logs at the Orinda Library. All results received by Oct. 15 will be eligible for the awards ceremony later that week. For more information, visit the Orinda library or the website: https://99pledges.com/fund/readorinda.
