Memphis Light, Gas and Water and WKNO’s “Teacher Teacher” are joining forces for a special MLGW Power League Storytime on Thursday, March 19, at 11 a.m. at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library (3030 Poplar Ave.).

This exciting event is free to the public and will feature the debut of the newest MLGW Power League superhero — DJ Current — a high-energy character designed to help children learn about the power of electricity and the energy all around us. DJ Current is the subject of a new children’s book that MLGW is releasing on the same day.

Families, educators and community members are encouraged to attend and meet DJ Current as he powers up learning in Memphis. Attendees will enjoy:

· A live reading featuring DJ Current

· Hands-on, interactive activities focused on energy education

· Fun giveaways and take-home activities (while supplies last)
