Calendar/Event Details

Sat, May 11, 2024
Sat, June 8, 2024

Winter is the perfect season for Family Saturdays! Explore how history connects us all during this hour-long story time program designed for children ages 4 to 10 and their friends and families. Join us on the second Saturday of each month at 10:30!

Saturday, May 11: Baseball Saved Us by Ken Mochizuki tells the story of Japanese-American incarceration through the eyes of a young boy and his baseball team. We’ll read about his experiences, and learn about what he had to leave behind when his family was incarcerated. Then we’ll discover some of the artifacts that were brought to camp or made in camp, and you’ll have the chance to explore the story further through imaginative play.

Saturday, June 8: Wonder Walkers by Micha Archer comes just in time for summer break! This book is full of exploration, excitement, and big questions about the world around us. We’ll read the book together, and then you’ll have the chance to engage in nature play as well as consider how Washington’s nature affects all of us every day (even on days that we spend inside!).
