October

Red Ribbon Week story time at all Berks County libraries: Red Ribbon Week is celebrated in schools throughout the country every October.  It is a week dedicated to drug prevention, which started in 1985 when the family of fallen Drug Enforcement Agency officer Kiki Camarena wore red ribbons in his memory.  Not Tonight and the Berks County Library System will take Red Ribbon Week into the community by hosting a story time event in each library branch throughout the county.  The Story of the Red Ribbon is a children’s book that weaves a tale of community empowerment into a charming fairy tale.  Community leaders such as elected officials and members of law enforcement will be invited to be guest readers.  Watch this site and the Reading Eagle for updated event information.

For more information please look at our Red Ribbon Week Ad.
