Join us this month and every 2nd Sunday for:
A lively interactive family storytime for all readers ages! Families and reading buddies will enjoy bonding together over beautifully written and read cultural stories and fun folktales performed by professional storytellers! This lively event for all ages includes an art project and sometimes, weather permitting — a lively parade down the Joseph sidewalk to the Lincoln Library where we “Get Lit” with our instruments and positive chants in the parking lot!
So much fun and totally FREE — just bring a smile, sense of adventure, warm heart, and your listening ears! Healthy snacks provided through our partnershp with Foodlink and the Avenue Children’s Theater Project Healthy Living Initiative.
