An estimated 3,500+ of you filled the concourse of the Durham Bulls Athletic Park for our annual Summer Block Party Saturday, July 13! The free, outdoor event was a joyful celebration of books, summer, and community!
The afternoon was action-packed, featuring fun-filled family activities and entertainment, and an abundance of free, culturally inclusive children’s books for every child – from infants to high schoolers! Exactly 9,001 children's books are now filling home libraries throughout the Triangle.
