Ulster County Clerk welcomes MyKingstonKids Red-K Reading Lounge

Posted

Ulster County Clerk Nina Postupack is pleased to announce that on Saturday, August 14, 2021, MyKingstonKids Red-K Reading Lounge will be at the Matthewis Persen House located at 74 John Street in uptown Kingston, at the corner of John and Crown Streets. Admission is free and all are welcome.

On Saturday, August 14 from 1-3 p.m., join MyKingstonKids as they host story time at the Persen House. Red-K Reading Lounge facilitator Victoria Blain will be reading ‘Farmer Will Allen and the Growing Table’ by Jacqueline Briggs Martin and illustrated by Eric-Shabazz Larkin. We will be learning how Will Allen, a former basketball star can see what others can’t see, when he looked at an abandoned city lot in Milwaukee and saw a huge table, big enough to feed the whole world. After the reading, registered children will participate in a small craft making activity that they can take home as well as their Red-K Apparel t-shirt in their Red-K swag bag. Spots are filling up quickly, so sign your child up today! Registration is only required to participate in the craft and receive a swag bag, not to listen to the story.

“We love to have children at the Persen House learning about our history and culture,” says Postupack. “The Red-K Reading Lounge offers diverse stories with a wonderful, interactive event that is sure to be a hit!”
