Detroit ACE (Arts, Culture and Entrepreneurship) has partnered with the Detroit Public Library on a new program to promote reading this summer, the 313 Summer Reading Challenge.
The entire city and beyond is encouraged to read together during the COVID-19 pandemic to reach 3.13 million minutes as a symbolic gesture for the determination, perseverance and celebration of the City’s love for reading and one another.
The #313Reads reading challenge was established to inspire young readers and families across the city to focus the minutes they read as much as the steps they take.
“As an advocate for improved reading for my entire life, there is no better time to encourage people to dive into good books – and get prizes for it – than now while we’re at home,” said Rochelle Riley, Director of Arts and Culture.
As readers rack up minutes in their Reading Logs, they have a chance to win weekly drawings for gift cards from $25 to $100.
