ABC's of Jones County book signings

Beginning this month, Jones County children will have a chance to read about their community  and learn their ABC’s with the same book.

That’s because Every Child Reads, an initiative of the Jones County Community Foundation, is releasing a new children’s book, The ABC’s of Jones County. The book walks children through the alphabet using familiar places and activities in Jones County.

Families can also purchase books or get their books signed by the authors at: Thou Art in Anamosa — Friday, June 2, 5 to 7 p.m. Whiffle Tree in Monticello, Saturday, June 3, 1 to 3 p.m. Savor the Barn in Monticello, Saturday, June 17, 10 a.m. to noon
