Over 9,000 students in Alcoa, Blount County, and Maryville City Schools is receiving his or her own personal copy of a book thanks to the generosity of our community sponsors. We hope you will embrace the excitement of this project and set aside about 15 minutes each evening to read with your child.
We're thrilled to offer two special family experiences as part of the One Book Blitz 2026! Enjoy free admission to Zoo Knoxville with a paid adult ticket - just enter the code on the reading calendar when purchasing your tickets. Then, relive the nostalgia of the drive-in at a free showing of the movie at the Parkway Drive in Theater! Simply bring your copy of the book for entry. See the calendar for more dates and details.
