Ongoing Read to Learn Books for Free
Paz Prize for Poetry 2014-2015
Kids living in under-resourced Miami neighborhoods have little access to books outside of school. Nearly half of Miami-Dade County third graders fail to read even at a basic grade level, and only one-third read proficiently. Studies show that children with greater access to books are more likely to read well and succeed academically.
The Center established The Paz Prize for Poetry in partnership with The National Poetry Series in Spring 2012 to celebrate The Center’s 10th anniversary. The award honors a poet writing in Spanish and living in the United States.
The Center is meeting this challenge in partnership with The Children’s Trust. So far, The Center has placed more than 35 shelves full of children’s books, free for the taking, in locations throughout the county where children visit with their parents. These include public health clinics, community service centers, public housing, the children’s courthouse and juvenile justice center, the Department of Children and Families, and WIC program offices, among others.
The second Paz Prize winner, chosen in Fall 2014, is Carlos Pintado for his collection, Nueve Monedas. This winner was chosen by acclaimed poet, and the prize’s judge, Richard Blanco. Pintado will read from his collection at the 2015 Miami Book Fair International. Submission guidelines for the 2016-2017 Paz Prize for Poetry will be released in February 2015.
In 2014, Read to Learn Books for Free distributed more than 117,000 free books. The Center is actively looking for donations of new or gently used books to keep the shelves full. Monetary donations in any amount will also be gratefully accepted. To contribute by purchasing a low-cost book or donating money, or for more information, visit TheCenteratMDC.org/ReadtoLearn.
Generation Genius StoryArts! This literacy program takes place at City of Miami parks’ afterschool centers at Little Haiti Park, Legion Memorial Park and Charles Hadley Park. Children read along with artist/literacy educators, then create artworks inspired by the selected titles. For more information: TheCenteratMDC.org or 305-237-3940.

The Big Read: February 5 - March 5 The Big Read: A Community Shared Reading Program Powered by the National Endowment for the Arts The Center celebrates reading February 5 - March 5, 2015, with The Big Read, featuring events and activities inspired by the novel, When the Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka. Events include a visit to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens, book discussions, author lectures, haiku poetry workshops for teens, and a discussion of the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII and how this chapter in our history relates to other civil rights violations past and present. In When the Emperor Was Divine, Otsuka addresses themes of race, identity, loyalty and patriotism. In her sparse and beautiful prose, she quietly reveals the ugly underbelly of being “other” in a country which both embraces and rejects its immigrant self. The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest, designed to revitalize the role of reading in American culture. Visit thecenteratmdc.org or call 305-237-3940 for a full list of events and to request a free book.

Road Trip To Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens
Hop on the bus with fellow Big Readers for a trip to Delray Beach — a day of learning about Japanese culture and the history of the 100-year-old connection between Japan and South Florida, including an event in Florida history that is directly related to the subject of this year’s Big Read title, When The Emperor Was Divine. In May of 1942, during World War II, farmland in the Yamato area (where the Morikami Museum now stands) that was still owned by Japanese settlers was confiscated by the U. S. government for a military installation. Take a guided tour and experience the splendor of the Morikami’s six distinct gardens and the museum that complements them. The gardens, named Rojien: Garden of the Drops of Dew, were designed to be a living exhibit with abundant viewpoints that give you a chance to stop and enjoy your surroundings. The museum’s galleries play host to several exhibitions of Japanese art and artifacts throughout the year featuring different aspects of Japan’s rich and diverse culture. To learn more about the museum, visit morikami.org.
