Read Across Oklahoma comes to Tulsa today. This special statewide program is a part of the Ready to Learn initiative coordinated by the Oklahoma Department of Libraries and OETA-The Oklahoma Network. The goal of the program is to promote literacy and lifetime learning. At 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Barron Ryan’s Dr. Seuss Rap will get the party started with thumping beats and kid-cool rock-and-roll band. The Doo Dads will have everyone dancing in the aisles of the Connor’s Cove Theater. Right after the concert, at noon and 3 p.m., popular children’s book author Stacy Nyikos will keep the fun going with a presentation of her new picture book “Rope 'Em!” in the Frossard Auditorium. A book signing will follow. Tulsa City-County Library mascot Buddy Bookworm, fun activities and cool giveaways will round out this super reading celebration! This event is for ages 12 and younger.
