Please join us for a discussion and Q & A with local author Ann Hood and her newest book, Fly Girl: A Memoir. 

Join us for campfire themed stories from Rachel Briggs of Rhode Island Black Storytellers (RIBS), as she tells us about a boy and his dad as they fly a kite and explore what keeps the kite up, and what brings it down. Crafts to go included.

We'll meet in Wilcox Park near the fountain!

Hear about this year's Kids Reading Across Rhode Island winner, How to Win a Slime War by Mae Respicio, eat some cool treats and make some slime. Participants will receive a book of their own to keep. We'll meet in Wilcox Park by the fountain, or in the library's Terrace room on the 3rd floor if it's raining.

This program is intended for Kids ages 9-12. Registration is required.
