Calling all kids: beat the heat with a refreshing summer storytime!

Local authors Constance Lombardo and Shannon Hitchcock will be sharing two aquatic books to remind us to follow our hearts and appreciate our local waterways.

Itty Bitty Betty Blob Makes a Splash follows our favorite blob Betty as she shows her diving coach (and herself!) the importance of being exactly who you are.

Of Words and Water traces how Wilma Dykeman's love for a local river led to her efforts to protect it and the livelihood of those who depended on it.

After the read-aloud we'll safely stash the books and then head out to the patio to toss around some water balloons. Checkmate, summer sun! We're staying cool and having fun 💦🎈😎 

The organizer of this event marked it kid-friendly. 😛
