Join the East Flatbush branch for a special free screening of "Butterfly in the Sky," a documentary about Reading Rainbow. Thanks to the generous efforts of Read a Book LLC for sponsoring this free event for all ages!

BUTTERFLY IN THE SKY tells the story of the beloved PBS children’s series "Reading Rainbow," its iconic host LeVar Burton, and the challenges its creators faced in cultivating a love of reading through television. Two seconds into the bubbling synth sounds of its theme song will have a child of the 1980s or ‘90s exclaiming “Reading Rainbow!” Such is the beloved nature of the classic children’s literary television show that introduced millions of kids to the wonder of books.

Please register yourself and all members of your party in advance so we can get an idea of the size of attendance! Thank you!
