Wild Things Family Storytime from 10:30-11:00 am: For families with children of all ages. Celebrate Maurice Sendak’s birthday by joining Ms. Kathleen for an all-age Wild Rumpus. We’ll stomp, sing and read together! Stay for a chance to take a photo with a Wild Thing mascot and practice your roars together! Registration is encouraged but drop-ins are welcome as space permits. 

Wild Thing Photo Op from 11:00-11:30 am: For children of all ages. Roar your terrible roars and show your terrible claws while taking a photo with a Wild Thing! Our costumed mascot character will be on hand for a meet & greet immediately following our Storytime to celebrate Maurice Sendak’s birthday. No registration required.

Collaborative Cardboard Cake Art from 11:30 am-12:30 pm: Let’s create a wild Birthday Cake! Children in PK-2nd grade are invited to contribute to this collaborative art project in honor of Maurice Sendak’s Birthday!
