In preparation for its 10<sup>th<\/sup> annual Book Party in the Park,<strong> thread<\/strong> is hoping to meet its goal of receiving 10,000 donated children\u2019s books before July 31. All of which will be given away at this year\u2019s event on August 11<sup>th<\/sup> at the Mountain View Garden Art Park in Anchorage.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tA decade ago <strong>thread<\/strong> hosted the first Book Party in the Park event to promote family connection and healthy child development through early literacy experiences. Over time the event has grown exponentially. Last year, over 1,000 people showed up for this free community event, and thousands of books were given to local families.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201c<strong>thread\u2019s<\/strong> Book Party in the Park provides a great opportunity for families to connect and discover the joy of reading together,&#8221; said Stephanie Berglund, CEO of <strong>thread<\/strong>. &#8220;Reading books and sharing stories is a great experience for families to have together.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Anchorage community has already donated thousands of children\u2019s books so far, but many more books are needed to reach our goal of 10,000. Donations of children\u2019s books (for all age groups) are being accepted now through July 31 at all Anchorage Fred Meyer locations and <strong>thread\u2019s<\/strong> office at 3350 Commercial Drive, Suite 203.    <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cReading to children is a critical component of healthy brain development, and it\u2019s a great opportunity to connect with your children and have quality time,\u201d said Senator Wielechowski (D-Anchorage), who has partnered with <strong>thread<\/strong> over the past several years on the event.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe Book Party includes free books for all children attending the event, story time with special guests, games, crafts, live music, temporary tattoos, snacks, and much more. The Book Party in the Park is a fun way for children and families to get excited about books and reading as well as a great way to promote early learning.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tEach year, business partners like ConocoPhillips Alaska, Title Wave Books, BP, and Anchorage Fred Meyer Stores generously support the Book Party in the Park and make this free community event possible.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t<strong>Event Details:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\n\tBook Party in the Park<\/p>\n<p>\n\t4:00 \u2013 7:00 pm on August 11, 2016<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMountain View Garden Art Park<\/p>\n<p>\n\t3350 Commercial Drive, Anchorage, AK<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFor more information, contact Hayley Anderson at 907.265.3111.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","news_tags":[],"event_category":[],"news_categories":[],"class_list":["post-37425","thread-blog","type-thread-blog","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>thread Seeks 10,000 Children&#039;s Books - Thread<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.threadalaska.org\/thread-blog\/thread-seeks-10-000-childrens-books-2-3\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"thread Seeks 10,000 Children&#039;s Books - Thread\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"thread\u2019s annual Children\u2019s Book Drive\u2014benefiting Anchorage children\u2014is in full swing.
