United Through Reading - Kleber Kaserne

This event last took place on Apr 26th, 2017
11:00 AM CEST (1100B)

One of the most difficult things a child can experience is having a parent separated from them for an indeterminate period of time. United Through Reading® helps ease the stress of separation for military families by having deploying or deployed service members read children’s books aloud via recording for their family to watch at home.

Being a parent is not required; service members can send the recording & book(s) to any special child in their life such as younger sister or brother, niece, nephew or godchild.

On the day of the recording, service members are encouraged to dress in the attire they will be wearing while deployed/training, but this is not required. The room is private, so any special message, or those fun reading voices, will only be heard by the recipient of the recording. USO centers have books available, or service members can bring their own. Our volunteers will help set up the camera and then leave the room during the recording session.

Open to the public: 11:00 AM until 5:00 PM

First-come, first-served
