African American Read-In

Annually, on the first Monday in February at 9 AM, the African American Read-In, a National Event SFABSE sponsors and implements for over forty years.  Students will have the opportunity to hear rich literature written by African American/Black authors and often enjoy seeing the creative work of African American/ Black illustrators. These amazing stories are brought to life by our volunteers who read books that also depict the African American /Black Culture and experience.

 

Our guests share a little bit about their various professions and jobs and tell how reading is important in their everyday life. Our readers receive a certificate of participation and are served a healthy breakfast.​
