]]> The annual African American Read-in + Family Day will take place from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Saturday, Feb. 7 at Piedmont Arts.

Visitors can view books on loan from the collection of Joyce and Kenneth Staples. A craft for kids and snacks will be available. This event is admission free. All ages are welcome.

This event is held in conjunction with the National African American Read-in, a groundbreaking effort to encourage communities to read together, centering on African American books and authors. The initiative was established in 1990 by the Black Caucus of the National Council of Teachers of English to make literacy a significant part of Black History Month. It has reached more than six million participants around the world.

Sponsored by Brightspeed and Carter Bank.
