Usher in the spirit the season and the opening of McCarter Theatre Center’s production of the beloved holiday tale by participating in the fourth annual public community reading of Charles Dickens’ 1843 novella.

We will read the entire story from start to finish by the fireplace on the library's first floor on Saturday, December 7 2019, starting at 2 pm. All are invited and encouraged to attend—individuals, families, book clubs, and groups—and participate by reading a portion of the book. All reading levels are welcomed!

We are asking for those that sign up to commit to being at the library ten minutes prior to the start of their reading slot and to remain for the full thirty minutes that they are signed up (and hopefully for longer). We will assign 3-5 readers per slot and each reader will read for 7-10 minutes as well as listen to others. Family and friends are encouraged to come see you read. Festive attire encouraged, but not required.

Readers of all reading levels are invited to sign up for a time slot using this form or by calling the library’s Welcome Desk at (609) 924-9529, ext. 1218.
