The event, aimed at children in kindergarten through second grade and their parents, will run from 5 to 6 p.m. in the children’s section of the library. KDP volunteers will read to the children and assist them in making an Earth Day-themed craft. The event is free and open to the public, and all children attending will receive a free book.

KDP was founded in 1911 at the University of Illinois to foster excellence in education and promote fellowship among those dedicated to teaching. The national organization is composed of 667 chapters, and total international membership numbers more than 45,000. The Mu Gamma Chapter at ASU has been in existence since 1969.
