Jacksonville’s Cummer Museum is always a great place for families to visit but especially tonight on Family Literacy Night.

In collaboration with the Jacksonville Public Library, READ USA and the city, the River City Readers bookmobile will be at the museum so families can pick out free books, sign up for library cards and learn some literacy tips.
