Celebrate Opening Day by winning Library prize pack

It’s time to play ball in the Queen City, and Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County is once again teaming up with the Cincinnati Recreation Commission for the Findlay Market Opening Day Parade starting at noon Monday, March 31.

Be sure to wave at Rufus the Reading Dog, RED Card and all the CRC kids on a float that celebrates summer fun, reading and the Reds. Take a photo of the Library/CRC float in the parade and share it using #ReadOnReds to be entered in a drawing for a Library prize pack!

After the parade, swing by the Main Library to view a special display of Cincinnati Reds memorabilia and historic items located in the atrium. The display opens Saturday, March 29, and remains up throughout spring.

The Main Library is located at 800 Vine Street. Call (513) 369-6900 or visit www.CincinnatiLibrary.org. For Opening Day parade route information, visit www.findlaymarketparade.com/.
