Victoria Theatre Association Announces READ ACROSS AMERCIA BOOK DRIVE Image

Victoria Theatre Association, in partnership with Project READ, Teredata Cares and City Day Community School is hosting the READ ACROSS AMERCIA BOOK DRIVE, Jan. 20 - March 2, 2018. Donations of new or gently used books can be placed in collection bins at the Victoria Theatre, the Benjamin & Marian Schuster Performing Arts Center, The Arts Garage and Teredata.

As part of VTA's commitment to enrich the lives of the Miami Valley community, VTA and its' partners, Project READ, Teredata Cares and City Day Community School, has set a goal to collect 1,154 new or gently used books for grades PreK -8. That's one book for every seat in the Victoria Theatre!

Collection begins Jan. 20 at the Morris Furniture Company Family Series presentation of MR. POPPER'S PENGUINS at the Victoria Theatre. Bins for new or gently used books are located at the Victoria Theatre, Schuster Center, The Arts Garage and Teredata. On March 2, some of the books collected will be delivered to City Day Community School so every student can take home a book of their very own. Additional books will be donated to Project READ.

SPECIAL - BOOKS FOR "TOTS!" CAMPAIGN

Who likes tater tots? Visit Citilites at the Schuster Center for lunch or dinner during Jan. 22-29 and each dine-in customer who brings a book donation will receive a free small order of delicious tater tots!
