Books & Basketball: Summer Reading Program Opens in Red Hook, Brooklyn

This summer, on every Saturday, children ages 8-11 in the Red Hook Rise League will enjoy reading and storytelling before a basketball game. For the past two years, Literacy Inc. (LINC), a not-for-profit organization has collaborated with Red Hook Rise to provide more out of classroom reading opportunities for young aspiring ballplayers. Parents, guest readers, senior citizens, local service providers and teenagers will join in the reading activities.

Red Hook Rise is a grass roots organization of volunteers dedicated to providing educational opportunities for children.

Special guests to read with children include: Marty Markowitz, Brooklyn Borough President, Members of the Brooklyn Mentoring Network, Local Radio Station HOT 97, and an NBA Player. The location is Coffey Park (Basketball Courts), Richards Street between King and Pioneer Streets.#

For more information contact the LINC Coordinator at 212-620-5462, Ext. 230 or Earl Hall of Red Hook Rise at 917-709-3678.
