International Literacy Day in Tauranga (2014)

Date2014DescriptionOn International Literacy Day in 2014 the Mayor's chair went to Red Square and became the focus of a mass reading event. Members of the public and some Tauranga City Council staff took turns sitting on it to have their photo taken reading. The Mayor and some elected members joined workers, families and community representatives from Literacy and Language Bay of Plenty and Altrusa Tauranga as they picnicked and read during their lunch break. Those “caught in the act” reading in Red Square, were rewarded with “spot prizes” or goodies. Photograph: Lee Switzer.
