Storybook Village

Storybook Village is a FREE family-friendly event and a celebration of the joy of reading in our community. This year we’re honoring the beloved children’s author Laura Numeroff with a host of engaging activities, book giveaways, and much more. Join us for fun and excitement as you connect with local organizations dedicated to increasing early literacy rates and providing access to books. Everyone is encouraged to dress up as their favorite child-friendly book character and participate in delightful activities such as free face painting, a scavenger hunt, and a live performance of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Event sponsorships help us raise funds to support our local Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Volusia, which provides free books to children ages birth-5 years old. The program is fully funded by community donations and currently provides high-quality, age-appropriate books to more than 5,800 children in our county each month, fostering a love of reading. For families facing financial hardships or challenging circumstances, this program is a lifeline, providing the joy and educational benefits of books. If your business would like to sponsor this event, please email Serena Piper for more information: spiper@elcfv.org
