Third Annual - Drop Everything And Read Texas Event

TEXAS—Texas Authors will span the state April 7 – 9 for a weekend of book signings and readings in bookstores, grocery stores, libraries and schools to showcase their individual and collective talents as storytellers in all genres.

This third event is expected to be just as fun and educational as the previous years. Bookstore giant, Barnes & Noble will host authors throughout the weekend. In addition select Kroger’s grocery stores, and other locations will also spotlight our great Texas talent.

DEAR Texas is established with the mandate of encouraging people of all ages to read more and rediscover the fun, excitement and joy associated with learning new things through the pages of books. This has been the driving force of the organization and has resulted in a great amount of success.

In addition to the DEAR Texas event, the organization has donated books valuing at over $20,000 to schools and libraries during the past two years. They also created the Super Readers, four loveable characters, who show children and adults that through reading, they too can become their own Super Hero.

To learn more about participating authors and where they will be for this event, please visit the organizations web site at https://2017.DearTexas.info. DEAR Texas graciously accepts donations for its literacy program that helps get Texas Authors books into the hands of aspiring adults and children, plus schools and libraries.
