Alice Ozma

Saturday, April 14  • 2:00 p.m.  
Carnegie Community Room

Meet Alice Ozma, author of The Reading Promise: My Father and the Books We Shared. Hear Alice, named after “Alice” from Lewis Carroll and “Ozma” from L. Frank Baum, share her story of the promise she made with her father, an elementary school librarian, when she was in fourth grade – to read aloud together for 100 nights. They continued their “streak” until the day Alice entered college, eight years or 3,218 nights later. The reading “streak” changed their lives so profoundly that Alice has made a commitment to spread the word about reading and the importance of making a reading promise.  DROP IN
