Program Description

Event Details

Story read by Oscar Wooten IV followed by a fun photo booth, giant puzzles, & self-portrait craft. 

No registration is required!

This reading initiative encourages men from our local community to celebrate that men love to read. We’re inviting men with different professions from all over Buncombe County to share the joy of reading with young patrons at the Enka-Candler Library.

Data shows that having active male role models in children’s lives can break down stereotypical gender biases and lead to higher gender equality and empowerment. This program is open to children of all ages and gender identities. We believe that positive literacy role models are for everyone!

Story time will be every other Saturday at 10:30 AM, please join us for a story time followed by fun activities!

If you know of someone in our community who would be a great Reading MENtor, let us know! We accept nominations, email Enka.Library@buncombecounty.org and we’ll be happy to reach out.
