Sydney's Book Club will sponsor its Boos for Books event again this year from 6 to 7:30 tonight at Herman Park.
The non-profit organization has worked to encourage children, specifically children under the age of 8, to read more and become passionate about reading, stories and books.
This year, the group will pass out books to those that visit Herman Park during the event and encourage adults that intend to distribute candy this year to also pass out books along with their sweet treats.
"By including books in the treat bags of children we show the importance of reading at a young age and inspire other parents to consider doing the same in upcoming years," says SBC Executive Director Tiffany Dickerson. "Let's not just pass out sweets, a book is a treat with a lasting reach."
Ms. Dickerson said the event will also feature numerous vendors and community organizations.
Also, families can win prizes for their participation by sharing their photos on social media using #BoosforBooks.
This is the third year for Boos for Books.
