Memorial Day 2023 book giveaway Adults and kids alike can take home a free book after Jamestown’s Memorial Day Parade on Monday. The Unitarian church will give away books again on Monday morning, May 25, at 663 Lakeview Ave., in front of Christ First United Methodist Church, near the parade’s end. Anyone is welcome to take a free book any time from the two book boxes – one for children, one for adults – in front of the Unitarian Church at 1255 Prendergast Ave.

The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Jamestown is having its annual book giveaway on Monday morning, May 25, in front of Christ First United Methodist Church, 663 Lakeview Ave., near Lakeview Cemetery, the parade’s destination.

If the weather cooperates, adults and children who are watching or participating in the parade can choose a book to take home.

The church has “adopted” Fletcher Elementary School’s kindergarten classes, providing each student with books at least three times during the school year. On Halloween, children are welcomed into the church building by costumed parishioners for a Halloween Read and Treat where they can choose a book, receive a treat, and do some simple crafts.

The two book boxes in front of the church at 1255 Prendergast Avenue are filled with books; one for adults and one for children. Anyone is welcome to take books of their choice any time.
