At this interactive story hour for the whole family, we’ll engage with meaningful topics through stories, music, and art.
Reading and playing together with children creates an affirming space where we can be curious, explore ideas, and ask questions. The coziness of reading together actually releases serotonin, which helps solidify the language and learning that occurs during this experience. Doing activities together as a family brings meaning to concepts like kindness, empathy, gratitude and equity. Open Books, Open Minds introduces families to books, music and activities that build community and help us talk about and engage with the world we live in.
The program is ideal for families with young children, and fun for everyone! Children 8 and under must be supervised at all times.
