Read Across Oklahoma 2025

Read Across Oklahoma

Caring for your Library by best selling author Tammi Sauer

Mark your calendars because we are gearing up for Read Across Oklahoma 2025! 

This celebration of reading and early literacy will take place at the Oklahoma City Zoo on March 27, 2025. The theme, "Reading Safari," is inspired by Oklahoma author Tammi Sauer's book Caring For Your Lion. In this best-seller, a little boy orders a kitten but finds that he's been given a lion instead. A series of hilarious and heartwarming events unfold.

A number of Kindergarten through 2nd grade classes will be invited to attend the event. As special guests, these classes will receive paid admission to the zoo, get a copy of the book, and get a chance to attend a book-reading by the author. The public is welcome to attend and the first 1,500 kids who enter the zoo will receive a free book as well.

All this is made possible thanks to the generosity of many private and public sponsors including Tinker Federal Credit Union, Target, Friends of the Oklahoma Center for the Book, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Curious about volunteering or donating to support the event? Contact Connie Armstrong with the Oklahoma Center for the Book.
