We are SO very excited about our new collaboration with the Early Learning Coalition of Manatee County & Suncoast Campaign for Grade-Level Reading! We love supporting early literacy for children, so we are happy to welcome “Book Nooks” at all four Anna Maria Oyster Bars.
We invite kids to visit the Book Nook and choose a book to read while dining with us. While you’re spending family time at the table, we invite you to join in on the fun with your little one! Help them Dive into Reading by helping them read, or discussing the adventures inside their new book! Plus, they get to take the book home if they’d like!
We even had our first reader, Laci Arvidson, a third grader at Palma Sola Elementary School! Along with more kids ready to read! Thanks Sydney (5th grade) and Mallory Rommel (3rd grade), who were visiting us all the way from R.C. Hinsdale Elementary in Kentucky! Also, Mike (4th grade) and Marcus (1st grade) Krayesky from Palma Sola Elementary. We hope you enjoy diving into your new books!
We love the collaborations that make all these opportunities possible and our staff, who are so excited about this project and all the others. If you are interested in donating books for our Book Nooks, please contact amobamanda@gmail.com.
