Bookin It For TCS Libraries 5K - Tuscaloosa, Alabama - Running

The Bookin It For TCS Libraries 5K is a Running race in Tuscaloosa, Alabama consisting of a 5K.

Thank you for checking out the Annual Bookin' It for TCS Libraries 5k. On average, a TCS library book is 19 years old. State library enhancement funding was cut in 2008 and only reinstated during the 2015-2016 school year. Since being reinstated, it is at a severely lower funding level than the 2008 era. If all state library funding was spent entirely on book purchases, most of our libraries still could not afford to purchase even one whole book per student. We aim to change that. The event will be held at The Tuscaloosa Magnet Schools. The 5k will kick off at 8:00 a.m. Participants are encouraged to dress as their favorite book character, but this is not required.
