The Little Read
"Never too worn out for books!"

The Little Read is an initiative by the Wichita Public Library and its partners to share "Olivia" by Ian Falconer with every preschooler in our community during the week of Nov. 15-21.

As part of the celebration, local celebrities will read "Olivia" at special storytimes.
