Dig Into Reading Around the World
at the Main Library
Have you always wanted to share a story about your culture with other families? At our Summer Reading Kickoff, one of our storytime parents shared the story of "Strega Nona" and showed the children and their families how to make homemade pasta. Everyone enjoyed learning about Italian traditions.
On Saturday, July 13 at 11am, we are offering our families the opportunity to share a story or tradition from their culture. You can share a song, a dance, or show items of interest. Other families will enjoy learning more about your culture!
To sign up to participate in this unique program, please call the Main Library Children's Department at (973)-887-5150 x233.
