The El Paso Public Library is hosting a reading rally on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm at the Park in Cleveland Square. The rally will include special readings and performances from local authors and dignitaries including Denise Chavez, Lee and Bobby Byrd, Felipa Solis and others. There will also be a free book distribution for all ages. There is no cost to attend. For more information call 543-5468. Paint El Paso READ is designed to draw attention to the importance of reading and literacy in our community. The children’s books to be given away are brand new books that were donated to the library for the specific purpose of being given away. The books for adults are primarily pre-owned books that were donated to the library and its partners, and cannot be used as part of its regular circulating collection.
