Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wish the library offered more storytime programs to fit our busy schedule"? Traveling Tales are a collection of convenient book bundles and activity kits for preschoolers, ages two to five, that you can take home! Parents, caregivers and educators: Get your preschoolers ready to read and ready for school with help from the Library!
Join us in celebrating women and girls who have made (and keep making) history! From the brave women who fought for the right to vote, to artists, journalists and astronauts (and everything in between): Your Library has an amazing collection of books written by and about these phenomenal women and their contributions to US and world history.
Does your child loves singing, dancing, playing and reading?! Bring them to Klutho Park every Monday at 9:30 a.m. for a special pop-up storytime they'll be talking about all week long! We’ll read rhythmic stories together and add songs and movements to make it a wonderful time for all (even parents can get in on the fun)!
This March, hear about a fascinating and influential (but relatively unknown) figure in Women's History, learn how the group Women Writing for (a) Change takes inspiration and writing techniques from their favorite books at our next Writer's Lab Workshop and join a discussion group on US foreign policy with topics that affect women and girls here in America and around the world!
We are open for artists. We are open for writers. We are open for zinesters. We are open for readers. We are open for live music.
We are open for Art Walk.
