Austin Camerata with Esteban the Green Crayon

Join us for a special storytime event with Austin Camerata! This local string ensemble performs short pieces of music to accompany storytime books so that children can use their imagination to create their own story. Our event will conclude with a Q & A and an instrument "petting zoo" where children of all ages can touch the stringed instruments. Esteban the Green Crayon, from the book, The Day the Crayons Quit, will make a special appearance for this storytime experience! Come a little early to take a picture with Esteban, maybe the best looking crayon in the box! 

Respect Your Cat Day!

Do you have a cat? Show them some respect! (As if you had a choice) How do you show a cat some respect? I don't know, but we better read some books about cats to find out, like Bathe the Cat, Pete the Cat & His Four Groovy Buttons, and The Cat in the Hat. 

Celebrating Holi!

Holi, the Festival of Colors, is celebrated all over the world! It falls on Purnima or the day of the full moon. It also marks the beginning of Spring. What is Holi? Let's read some great books, such as Holi Hey! and Holi Colors to discover what is Holi! 

National Puppy Day!

We love puppies! Who doesn't love puppies? Soft, cute, sweet little puppies! We also love books about puppies, too, such as Puppy Bus, That's Not My Puppy, & Puppy Preschool with Clifford. Come join us and tell us your favorite book about puppies!
