The AOC7's Annual Literacy Fair

Parents lined up with kids to get their book bags.
Today at MacArthur Park, the AOC7, which represents the neighborhood from Orange to Cherry and 7th to Anaheim, held its annual literacy fair. Neighborhood kids walked away with free books, food and some with prizes. 

Set up for the fair actually began at 7am. The fair itself began at 10am and ended at 1pm.

This year, the AOC7 secured donations of more than 8,000 new and used books. Those donations went to students of Lincoln Elementary, Whittier Elementary as well as a few neighboring school children who happened to be passing by during the fair.

Parents and kids getting their free books and reading them.

The MacArthur Park Neighborhood would like to thank the AOC7 and all the volunteers who brought such a great event to our all the adjoining neighborhoods. Assuming the literacy fair grows, next year they will need more volunteers, more schools and kid's organizations to participate.

The food and prizes were provided courtesy of various organizations like the Long Beach Rescue Mission and the Port of Long Beach, just to name a few.

Anybody who would like to see a full album of pictures of the event, can look on the MacArthur Park Neighborhood Group.
