Yay for reading! March is National Reading Month and together with the UF Writing Center, CTE, and the Findlay-Hancock Public Library, we are bringing you events and activities all month long to celebrate and get reading!
Friday, 3/10 10am-2pm
Help us kick off National Reading Month by welcoming the Findlay-Hancock Public Library's Bookmobile @ Mazza Museum Parking Lot. By getting a public library card, students, faculty, and staff will be able to access thousands of books, audiobooks, ebooks, and streaming services for music and film through Hoopla and Kanopy. The public library also hosts a robust series of classes and special events, ranging from book clubs to tax assistance. Just be sure to bring 2 forms of I.D.: one photo ID and one showing their current address.
