Ahogy arról korábban folyamatosan tájékoztatást adtunk, a Magyar Olvasástársaág részese lett a Visegrad Reads to Kids programnak. A célunk az volt, hogy felhívjuk a figyelmet a gyerekeknek történő (fel)olvasás jelentőségére.

Ennek keretében 2018. június 4-e és 10-e között több városban szerveztünk felolvasásokat, író-olvasó találkozókat, kiállítást, villámcsődületet.

Az eseményeken összességében több ezer gyerek vett részt, és a tapasztalatok arra sarkallnak minket, hogy jövőre még nagyobb szabású, még több embert elérő, megmozgató projektet tervezzünk.
