Books are limited and will be given on a first-come\, first-serve basis. \nTo participate and reserve your books\, please register in advance here: \n\n\n\nFamilies will also be asked to participate in a research study related to the children’s books. To participate or to learn more about the research study\, just fill out the form – or attend the first event at the Mitchell Museum on Martin Luther King Day\, Mon. Jan. 15\, at 10am-5pm. \nAbout the Research Study: \nParticipating families will be asked to take part in surveys asking questions about you\, and about stories and books. Families of all backgrounds with children aged 5-11 are eligible to participate. A legal guardian needs to be present with children to be eligible. Surveys will take between 15 minutes and an hour\, and you will be invited to 2 community events in total and asked to participate in the survey at or after each event.
