The "Celebrity Read Out Loud"
Our program places mentors with students who are then exposed to the wonderful world of reading. Thanks to the generosity of the many local personalities our "Celebrity Read Out Loud" program is a success. Below is a schedule of readings and the voices behind the words. All readings are free to the public and will take place at the Laurel Park Place Mall during the festival. Please join us and bring a friend.
 

 

This schedule will be updated as new mentors join our cause. Click the image to learn more about the readers.
