Tufts Hillel is hosting its annual literacy carnival, Read by the River, this year at a new location: Joyce Cummings Center. All local K-5 elementary school students and their families are invited to attend this special event that celebrates the love of books and reading. Like past years, a New England Patriots player will read a story and Tufts student organizations will lead literacy-themed activities.

Free parking will be available in the Cousens Gym lot across from the Joyce Cummings Center, or the Dowling Parking Garage on Boston Avenue. Guardians are required to stay with their children for the duration of the event.
