Storytime for the Kiddies!

So this is great news! Alicia, from Talking Leaves on Elmwood, has agreed to run a story hour for the little kiddies (or the big ones who still like to be read to). She’ll have some children’s books there and will be reading stories during the event.

There will be an area under a tree on the west side of Elmwood set up for the group, so please bring your kids by.

Thanks again Alicia!

What is the Buffalo Reading Invasion?

The Reading Invasion is a way to celebrate our city’s passion for reading, celebrate our beautiful public spaces, and celebrate the power of our community.

The idea is simple: People bring something to read and “invade” a large public space. This isn’t a book club; just a time to come together, to enjoy the act of reading, and to remind our fellow Buffalonians (especially the next generation), that reading is still a vitally important part of people’s lives.

So bring a book and bring a friend, and join us for an hour of reading, relaxing, and gathering in our most beautiful public spaces.

The 1st Buffalo Reading Invasion is taking place on Monday July 23rd, from 7pm – 8pm.

We will be invading Bidwell Parkway, in both directions off of Elmwood.

Welcome to the the Buffalo Reading Invasion OFFICIAL blogspot website. Why here? Because it’s free. And because apparently some people don’t use Facebook as the essential foundation of all friendship, sharing, and socialization. This is for those people.

Welcome!
