Como Zoo Kick-off Event Information for the Divas

The metro wide Summer Reading Program Kick-off event at the Como Zoo is Thursday, June 14. Rain or shine, the kick-off goes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

  • Plan on arriving at 9:30 a.m. You can arrive later if that fits your schedule better, just be aware that parking will be more difficult.
  • You can change into your gown at the Como Zoo and stash your stuff at a MELSA table.
  • Sashes will be available for you at the event (along with a very limited number of tiaras).
  • You will begin the day as official greeters to help generate interest and excitement in the MELSA events.
  • When the initial crowds die down, you can stay at the entrance as a greeter or walk around and generate attention for the library events and help direct people to events.
  • Be prepared to have your photo taken! Those of you who have volunteered as a Reading Diva in the past already are aware that the children are fascinated by the gowns and tiaras.
  • Stay as little or as long as you are able. Because there are so many other activities going on, there will not be a book cart drill team performance at this event.
  • No need to RSVP or sign up.
  • As usual, if you know anyone that wants to be a Reading Diva at this event, pass along this information.
