Anaheim Reads celebrates community and reading
Each year, the Anaheim Public Library hosts Anaheim Reads, a month-long celebration of reading.
This year, the chosen book is “There, There,” a debut novel by Cheyenne and Arapaho author Tommy Orange. It is about a large cast of Native Americans and a month of activities are planned around the theme of exploring Native American culture and history.
For children, companion books to read are “Waa’ake: The Bird Who Fell in Love with the Sun” by Cindi Alvitre and “Fry Bread: A Native American Family Story” by Kevin Noble Maillard.
There have been a number of activities and workshops held at the various library branches throughout the month, including making fry bread, book discussions, cooking lessons and basket weaving.
A Native Arts Festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 4 at Founder’s Park on West Street. For more information visit anaheim.net/library.
