The Green Bay Packers will host a literacy-themed event, “Timeout for Reading” at Lambeau Field on Saturday, March 2, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Timeout for Reading, free to the public, will feature story time with Jolie Canoli and Friends and several children’s book readings, including a reading by a Packers celebrity and a reading in Spanish.
A free book and bookmark will be distributed at the event to kids in pre-K through 5th grade while supplies last. Howe Community Resource Center will also take part in the event by offering a number of different literacy activity booths for attendees to enjoy.
Special reading areas will be available for participants to read their free book or a book brought from home.
The event can be accessed through the American Family Insurance Gate or the Miller Lite Gate on the east side of the Atrium.
