This lively gathering is happening on Saturday, December 21, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Beaufort County Main Library located at 311 Scott Street.
A Whimsical Reading Adventure
So, what can you expect? Well, a lot of reading fun! High school and college students from Beaufort-based DAYLO chapters are coming together to bring magic to the afternoon by reading from a selection of diverse and inclusive picture books. Families are invited to cozy up with their little ones and enjoy tales that highlight different cultures and experiences. And, of course, there’ll be a sprinkling of holiday cheer with some of DAYLO’s favorite festive reads!
Bring Your Stuffed Friends!
Don’t forget to bring a stuffed animal or two! The picnic encourages families to settle down on cozy blankets surrounded by plush companions and warm stories. It’s the perfect chance for kids to cuddle up with their favorite stuffed buddies while getting lost in a good book. Plus, this is a fantastic opportunity for families to bond over the joy of reading!
