Let’s Go Reading On The Rails!
You’re right on track for reading and railroading as guest readers share stories about trains, railroads and other amazing people, places and things during the family-friendly Reading On The Rails event at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania on Saturday, March 7. Reading On The Rails is sponsored by Smilebuilderz For Kidz.
Kids will receive their very own “suitcase” and use it to travel from story to story throughout the day. They can collect a sticker after each story and create their own suitcase design with stickers, crayons and other trimmings. Smilebuilderz For Kidz has supplied toothbrushes and travel-sized toothpastes and AAA Central Penn has supplied colorful luggage tags for the suitcases.
Currently scheduled readers include
- Barry Kornhauser, assistant director, arts campus and community engagement, Millersville University.
- Bryan Cutler, representative, Pennsylvania State House of Representatives.
- Regina Ahn, morning traffic and breaking news anchor, WGAL TV.
- Esther McBride, librarian, Strasburg-Heisler Library.
- Fran Rodriguez, senior program officer, Lancaster County Community Foundation.
- Patrick Morrison, director, Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania.
Reading On The Rails story times are 10:30 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 11:45 a.m., 1:15 p.m., 2:00 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. and will be held among the historic trains in the Museum’s climate-controlled Rolling Stock Hall.
