​CommUNITY Reads: Let’s Talk About It!

✨ Hampton Healthy Families, Hampton Public Library, and the Mayor's Book Club invite you along with the children in your life to view and listen to our volunteer community readers share children's books featuring stories to help spark conversation and thinking about ethnic and racial diversity, equity and inclusion. ✨

✨ Every 4th Thursday in June 25, July 22 and August 27, 2020 from 7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. ✨

📚 Books read by our community readers are available at our local library branches. Look for our story book readings every Tuesday and Thursday throughout the summer!
