Read-A-Roo is the mascot for our children’s programming at PBS NC. She’s been around for decades, delighting kids on air and in person at station events. For many years, we sponsored a book club that viewers could join and those members were often rewarded with gatherings in which the beloved well-read marsupial would make appearances. Here’s an old sign I found in a recording booth welcoming book club members to just such an event. My guess is some of the children at this event back in 1999 may now have kids of their own.
