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!
