Samuel Field Y to Host Book Fair on April 9 at Barnes and Noble

Little Neck’s Samuel Field Y will host a book fair on April 9 at Bay Terrace’s Barnes and Noble to raise funds for its early childhood programs.

The event, which runs from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., will include a full day of activities, including an after school program for local children, story time readings by the Y’s Early Childhood Program Director Bradley Richman, a workshop on how to choose a pre-school program for your child and a performance by the Y’s drama club.

“We have nursery, not-quite nursery and a wide variety of programs for kids, ages 2 to 5 years,” said Jared Mintz, a spokesman for the Samuel Field Y. “So, we’re doing this to get funding for some of our programs. It will go toward classrooms and books.”

When purchasing a book at Barnes and Noble on Tuesday, customers should either mention the Y’s book fair or present this voucher at the register. A portion of the proceeds from each sale will go toward the Y’s programs.

The book fair will include any books sold at the Bay Terrace Barnes and Noble, which is located at 23-80 Bell Blvd.
