Join us for a special storytime celebrating the joy of reading and the freedom to explore stories of all kinds! We'll read fun, age-appropriate picture books that have been challenged or banned in the past — books about being yourself, making friends, and celebrating differences. Together we'll share stories and songs that spark the imagination. After storytime concludes, families are invited to Stay & Play. For 30 minutes after storytime, special, age-appropriate toys will be available to keep the fun going. Storytime - 12:30 to 1 p.m. Stay & Play - 1 to 1:30 p.m. This event is part of our annual Banned Books Week celebration . Request ADA accommodations for this event.
