BHF 08 Headliner and all-around Hip Hop Good Will Ambassador The Blastmaster KRS ONE, will be in full effect this afternoon at The Brooklyn Public Library (The Big One, on Grand Army Plaz © Jeru). Kris is helping to kick-off The BPL’s annual Summer Reading Program with a press-conference and public discourse. This from the press release:

A staunch believer that knowledge equals power, and that literacy helps curb violence, KRS-ONE will speak about the importance of reading, answer questions, sign autographs and take pictures with children who will be off from school for Brooklyn-Queens Day, and signing up for summer reading. The Summer Reading kick-off will offer tons of fun, free activities for kids of all ages beginning at 12:00pm with performances from the Big Apple Circus. Mr. Met will also be on hand to sign autographs and take pictures. And, of course, when children sign up for the summer reading program, they will receive the summer’s booklists, special reading goodies and much more.

Wow. KRS ONE + Big Apple Circus + MR. MET?? Grab the little dunn in your life and get over to Grand Army Plaza. It’s a win win, as in you can’t lose. Thursday, June 5 (TODAY!) 11:00 – 2:00pm • Brooklyn Public Library’s Central Library at Grand Army Plaza. And remember: KNOWLEDGE REIGNS SUPREME OVER NEARLY EVERYONE!
