CHARLESTON, S.C. - Help set a world record for the number of people reading or listening to the same book on one day. Join us at any of our locations on Thursday, Oct. 25 to participate in Jumpstart's Read for the Record. From storytimes to after school readings, or anytime in between, stop by to share this year's selection, “Maybe Something Beautiful” by Theresa Howell and F. Isabel Campoy.
Book summary: Mira lives in a gray and hopeless urban community until a muralist arrives and, along with his paints and brushes, brings color, joy, and togetherness to Mira and her neighbors.
