Grab-n-Go Storytimes

Every Tuesday in September, we’ll have a storytime kit available for you and your little one(s) for curbside pickup, while supplies last. Each thematic kit will contain suggestions for books, rhymes and songs to share together, plus one or more fun surprise activities. Storytimes are recommended for ages 2-5, and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Saad, available on Hoopla in both eBook and audiobook format. This eye-opening book, complete with journal prompts, challenges readers to tackle the essential task of unpacking biases, fostering greater understanding and collaboration across our multi-faceted cultural landscape.
