Let’s Read Dumplings for Lili, all together now!
Our Summer Reading theme for 2023 is All Together Now, where we celebrate all of the different ways we can help each other by working together. In our featured StoryWalk®, Lili and Nai Nai are making Baos, but they need cabbage! Lili goes to Babcia for cabbage and finds out she needs potatoes to make her pierogis! With everyone in the building missing a key ingredient, can Lili and the grandmas work together so they all get their favorite dumplings?
Our Downtown Storywalk® will be on display from July 1st to July 31st.
The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
