When I say to a parent, "read to a child," I don't want it to sound like medicine. I want it to sound like chocolate. —Mem Fox

Reading becomes a favorite treat as we explore early literacy through stories, songs, and a simple craft. This free program for children ages 3 to 5 is designed to provide kids a foundation for kindergarten, including helping them to develop important socialization skills. We strive to create fun and rich experiences that build a love of books, libraries, and learning that will stay with children for a lifetime.

SPLAT!

Join us to create a masterpiece by throwing eggs filled with paint and glitter at canvas. Customize your art by aiming your throws or adjusting your speed to create abstract paint splatters for a truly one-of-a-kind piece. Thinking outside the box has never made art so eggciting!

DID YOU KNOW...?

Our Eggstract Art event is inspired by cascarones. Pronounced kas-ka-ron-ez, cascarones are a Mexican tradition used for Easter, Cinco de Mayo, and other celebrations. Hollowed-out egg shells are filled with confetti or toys and are often cracked over someone's head as a fun surprise.

Since we're using paint, please only break your eggs on the canvas!
