Event Details
Simon Malls® are welcoming families to experience the magic of reading at the mall. On February 15 from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m., Simon Kidgits Club® at St. Charles Towne Center is hosting its free annual Book Blast event and inviting parents and children to bring books to life through special read-aloud sessions, giveaways and story-inspired activities.
Simon Kidgits Club’s Book Blast will provide families the chance to make reading a fun, social experience with various kid-focused offerings. Book Blast event activities will kick off with an exciting read-aloud session presented by Mother Goose, scheduled from 12:30 p.m. to 1:15 p.m. Mother Goose will be reading original nursery rhymes by Mother Goose and will even be available for photo opportunities! Children are invited to bring a new or gently used book to the event to be donated to Better World Books, helping families give back to their own communities. Attendees can also look forward to a library tote and book marker craft, cookie decorating and other fun book-based activities!
“Because Simon Malls are destinations for families and friends to do more than just shop, Simon Kidgits Club is giving children the chance to experience all that books have to offer in a social setting,” said Jayne Stilson, assistant vice president of business development for Simon Brand Ventures, the business-to-consumer division of Simon Property Group. “We’re combining education with fun and allowing kids to simply have a blast with reading.”
Additionally, Simon is teaming up with Better World Books to provide each child that attends the event a pre-loved book and bookmark to take home. Simon and Better World Books are also supporting literacy through a Drop Box book collection program. Families can participate in the program by donating books at the mall’s Drop Box.
The Simon Kidgits Club is a fun and informative program that focuses on health, wellness, education, safety and entertainment for children ages 3-8. Since 2003, the Simon Kidgits Club has kept children and parents
