Mario Day

Book Tasting

Thursday, March 19, 6 p.m. | Intended for children in grades four to six. Registration required.

It’s no secret that children tend to gravitate to books they’re familiar with, and it’s difficult to get them to try new things. Join Chef Ashley in an engaging cafe-themed evening where they will “sample” various books to explore new genres, and maybe find their new favorite read! Participants will spend about five minutes with each book, reviewing the cover, blurb and perhaps a couple of pages. They will then reflect and rate their interest in that particular book.

Turtles, Snakes & Frogs, Oh My!

Thursday, April 6, 6-7 p.m. | All ages.
