Description
For 26 seasons, PBS’s Reading Rainbow met young viewers in their living rooms, whisking them away on far-off adventures into the boundless world of books. With the help of celebrity narrators and nine-year-old book reviewers, the show’s iconic host, LeVar Burton, brought real-life lessons and honest conversations to life in a way we had never before seen on screen. Despite ongoing funding hurdles and new public school testing standards, Burton and the show’s creators held tight to their authentic, down-to-earth approach to fuel kids’ lifelong love of reading. Inspiring and nostalgic, Butterfly in the Sky tells the tale of a revolutionary reading movement. Reliving the show’s legacy is a refreshing return to the written page. But you don’t have to take our word for it.
Tickets are just $5 and a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Montgomery County chapter of Dolly Parton's Imagination Library. Before the film, you'll be able to learn more about the Imagination Library program, plus we'll have other special guests from the Blacksburg Library and Storytime with Joelle - and a Children's Books pop-up from Blacksburg Books! You won't want to miss this celebration of reading at 3PM on May 18th (doors open at 2:15).
