The record attempt is for MOST PEOPLE READING ALOUD SIMULTANEOUSLY – MULTIPLE LOCATIONS where we plan to break the record for the largest number of people to read the same piece of literature aloud, simultaneously, in multiple locations.

On Wednesday, December 13, 2006, at 12 noon (EST), you are invited to join students, educators, librarians, and fans of Charlotte’s Web who will gather in schools, hospitals, libraries, and community centers to read a passage from E.B. White’s classic tale of friendship, kindness, selfless giving and miracles. The passage highlights the moment when Charlotte and Wilbur meet for the first time. It is our hope that this event will introduce Charlotte’s Web to new fans and to reintroduce the story to adults who read it in their youth.
