Reading Under the Lights 2026
What an unforgettable night of stories, community, and connection!
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the 2nd annual Reading Under the Lights a success. This event truly took a community coming together and we are so grateful for every person who played a part.
To our amazing sponsors, thank you for believing in the power of literacy and helping us bring this free experience to families in our community. Your support made it possible for children to take home books, enjoy activities, and create memories that will last long after the final page.
To our community partners and tailgate hosts, thank you for sharing your time, resources, and creativity to make the pre-event celebration so much fun. From libraries and schools to local organizations and community groups, your involvement helped families discover new ways to connect with learning.
To our readers and reading circle leaders, thank you for sharing your voices and your love of stories with children. Your time and enthusiasm helped bring books to life and showed kids that reading can be an adventure.
To our volunteers, thank you for arriving early, staying late, and doing whatever was needed to make the evening run smoothly. Your behind-the-scenes work made a huge impact.
To the families who joined us, thank you for spending your evening with us and celebrating the joy of reading. Seeing children explore, laugh, listen to stories, and leave with books of their own reminded us why this event matters.
And finally, thank you to our entire community for showing up and supporting youth literacy. Together, we created a night filled with stories, smiles, and connection; proving that when we come together, amazing things happen.
We can’t wait to continue writing this story with you.
