Reading Ambassador Orientation
August 23 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
The Worlds of Words Center welcomes our new cadres of Reading Ambassadors! Middle School Reading Ambassadors (MSRAP) and Teen Reading Ambassadors (TRAP) will meet for the first time in the 2025/26 academic year to go over paperwork, answer questions about the program and engage in a book browse to select our books and authors for the new year.
Parents should consider staying for the first hour to go over expectations and plan for the remainder of the time to exit the center and allow Reading Ambassadors time to meet each other. The U of A campus is an ideal place to stroll and there are several buildings we recommend for tours. Please email us at wow@arizona.edu for personalized recommendations.
For more information about the programs please visit the MSRAP and TRAP pages accordingly.
Ticketed parking is available in the Second St. Garage Street parking and surface level lots should be free. Worlds of Words Center is also located just off of the 2nd St. Modern Streetcar stop.
To request disability-related accommodations that would ensure your full participation in this event, please email wow@arizona.edu or call 520.621.9340.
Reading Ambassador author meetings occur every other month throughout the academic year and are open to the public. This free program for area middle and high school students encourages them to promote reading in their own contexts. Additional information on the Reading Ambassadors is available on our website under the About tab.
Event details may change. More information to follow.
Hello! I’m interested in learning what books you have in your collection and might recommend that address astronomy, constellations, or the night sky told from a Native American perspective – especially the Sonoran Desert/southwest. Origin stores are also of interest.
I’m especially interested in picture books that might be interesting for a read aloud storytime -(focus children ages 3-6) as well as for the general public to know about – (children 3-12 & their caretakers).
Thank you!
Hi Meg! Thank you for your inquiry. We have Dr. Short on it. She should contact you directly. If you don’t hear back, let us know! Rebecca
