Philadelphia Eagles Book Mobile to visit Aug. 11

The Eagles’ Storybook Man will read a book to the children. Each child will have the opportunity to pick out a free book to keep following the reading. The program is scheduled to run 30-45 minutes.
This literacy program is part of the Eagles Youth Partnership (EYP). EYP serves more than 50,000 low income children in the Greater Philadelphia region every year with a focus on health and education programming. EYP takes its services directly to kids at their schools and in their neighborhoods. The signature mobile programs – the Eagles Eye Mobile and Eagles Book Mobile – leverage the celebrity and excitement of the Eagles football team, enabling EYP to capture the attention of some of the hardest-to-reach children.
The Book Mobile has distributed 555,412 books and traveled 68,508 miles since 2000, according to the Eagles.
