It's story time at UTPB!

And the fall book schedule for the Falcon Fledgling's at UTPB has just been announced.

At 9 a.m. each Wednesday morning through Nov. 19, children's books will be read aloud by UTPB EC-4 teacher certification students in the library foyer on campus.

This is an opportunity for preschoolers and their parents/caregivers to spend time and read together, a news release said. And that's not all. Funding from the Abell-Hanger Foundation makes it possible for each family to take a book home each week.

The books are chosen to highlight various reading concepts such as letters, beginning sounds, rhyming and alliteration.
