For this program, join us for stories to celebrate Black History Month! Stories featured in this event include picture books such as Let the Children March by Monica Clark Robinson, illustrated by Frank Morrison and When I Hear Spirituals by Chery Willis Hudson, illustrated by London Ladd(pictured here). We’ll also sing songs and practice rhymes.

This program is entirely in English, and no translation will be provided. This participatory program is intended to encourage children to actively engage with stories. Member Services Assistant Colette Dia and Children’s and Teens’ Services Intern Tjasa Kmetec will read books and lead you and your little one in songs and hand-rhymes during a live, interactive session. Plan to join in, sing along, move around, and model movement and listening for your little one. We ask that all caregivers put away their phones and other electronic devices for the duration of this program. With your help, we hope to inspire children to become lifelong readers!
