Books, Blankets, and Family Fun! 

The Savannah-Chatham County Public School System wants to empower every child to become a proficient reader and live a choice-filled life!

We hope to see your family at our annual Books, Blankets & Family Fun event to celebrate reading, literacy, and STEAM education in Daffin Park (1500 E. Victory Drive) on Saturday, April 26, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be reading activities, vendor booths, music and games, guest readers, student performances, speakers, and the always-popular Teddy Bear Clinic. The event is free – and there will be food trucks on site if you would like to buy lunch or snacks. It’s fun for everyone! Spread out your blanket and enjoy the day! 

New this year - a Literacy Parade!
