The Program

Bring the whole family! Come one and all to hear excerpts from books written by African-American authors. Special guests will read selections aloud for your enjoyment.

This program is presented by Professional Achievers for Community Excellence (PACE) with support from the Friends of the Carrollton Public Library and the Carrollton Public Library.

Free books written by African American authors will be available to children and teens, while supplies last.

For all ages
