American Girl Events at Brookdale this Summer

Get your McKenna, Marie-Grace and Rebecca fans to the Lincroft campus for American Girl reading events starting Wednesday.

Calling all ... Combine your daughter's summer reading and her love for her American Girl at free reading events at Brookdale, starting this week.

The Scroll & Pen College Store on Lincroft main campus invites young readers to enjoy a variety of free summer events. The programs are appropriate for ages seven through 12 with siblings of all ages also welcome. Parents may participate in the activities or relax and enjoy the café and lounge during the program.

“We really want to encourage the kids to read and have fun. Together we will be reading a selection from the books followed by two fun and exciting activities. While the books are available for purchase, is it not necessary to do so,” said Megan Andrews, program coordinator.
