Storybook reading held on weekend<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): The Society for Advancement of Children's
\nLiterature will hold a two-day storybook reading at Bentara
\nBudaya on Saturday and Sunday.<\/p>\n
The event, held in conjunction with National Children's Day,
\nwill consist of six-hour uninterrupted readings. It is aimed at
\nhelping stimulate children's interest in reading, training them
\nto concentrate and to learn about the meaning of tolerance.<\/p>\n
\"It's meant to be a free family program so parents and
\nrelatives are welcome,\" Murti Bunanta SS, chief of the society,
\nsaid on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The organizing committee has selected 110 local and foreign
\nfolktales. The books will be read by dozens of volunteers from
\nvarious backgrounds, including teachers, journalists, artists,
\nmodels and businesspeople.<\/p>\n
Bunanta promised the readings would be interesting and readers
\nwere well prepared.<\/p>\n
\"Listeners may come at any time and choose the tales they
\nlike,\" she said.<\/p>\n
The readings begin at 10 a.m. and end at 5 p.m each day. (pan)<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/storybook-reading-held-on-weekend-1447893297", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
