X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>The JCA and MCPL invite families with chil
 dren of all ages to join us at the&nbsp\;<a href="https://montgomerycounty
 md.gov/library/branches/gaithersburg.html"><strong>Gaithersburg Library</s
 trong></a>&nbsp\;to share in their love of books by reading pieces from th
 eir favorite children&rsquo\;s stories. Readers will be selected on a firs
 t-come-first-served basis to share and read out loud to their fellow atten
 dees. Reading&nbsp\;aloud can&nbsp\;boost&nbsp\;brain&nbsp\;development\, 
 vocabulary\, memory\,&nbsp\;listening&nbsp\;skills\, and reading confidenc
 e. Participants may bring their own book or select one from the library. R
 eaders will have five-minutes to read and share their story. Stories share
 d should be at a reading level appropriate for Preschool through 3rd Grade
  listeners.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>This program is geared toward children 
 in Preschool to 3rd Grade\, but all families are welcome. </strong>No adva
 nced registration needed. Participants will be chosen on a first-come-firs
 t-served basis\, but all are welcome to attend and join in the love of rea
 ding by listening as we share our favorite stories.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p></p>\n<
