As part of the Summer Reading Tour, the Pacers “Read Like a Pro” program presented by Cargo Services will visit 22 Indianapolis Public Library branches for a one-hour Reading TimeOut. Guest readers and other special guests, including members of the Indiana Pacemates and the Pacers All-Star Reading Team, will share their favorite children’s stories with those in attendance. Each child on hand will receive a “Pacers Read” poster and bookmark. Following each Reading TimeOut, all visitors to the branch library will have the opportunity to play the Pacers Dice Game for their chance at winning a variety of Pacers prizes.
