Claire’s Day Toledo is a joyful celebration of life, literacy, and community. As part of Northwest Ohio’s largest children’s book festival, the event brings together families, educators, authors, illustrators, and thousands of young readers to honor the legacy of Claire Lynsey Rubini and her love of learning.
Attendees can enjoy author and illustrator presentations, hands-on activities at the popular Creation Station, and the inspiring presentation of the C.A.R.E. Awards (Claire’s Awards for Reading Excellence), recognizing more than 1,300 of the area’s most improved K–8 readers. Claire’s Day is a powerful reminder of the impact encouragement, access, and a love of books can have on a child’s future.
