Tuesday July 29th, 30th & 31st, August 1st, 4th & 5th, 2025 * 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM

Join the Franklin County Visitors Bureau and United Way at United We Read.

This year’s book is Area 51 Files written by Julie Buxbaum and illustrated by Lavanya Naidu.

Find out about the top-secret Area 51 and the special beings that live there, like the wide-eyed, bubble-like beings called Break Throughs.

 Area 51 Files and United We Read is lots of out-of-this-world fun and adventure to get your day started in a good way.

Readers will read the book aloud as the group follows along.

Craft, fun and games, and snacks each day.

Participants get to keep their book at the end of the story.

It is fun to read and be read to.

Come out and enjoy a quirky, funny mystery with the team at the Franklin County 11/30 Visitors Center.

Sign up for all five days and enjoy the entire book and all the activities!
