Saturday, April 4, 10:30 am - 2:00 pm

Have a young (pretend) vet, hair stylist, or farm-to-table chef in the family? Flex those imagination muscles by engaging with our variety of dramatic play stations set up around the library. Pretend play is a great way to practice emerging literacy skills, incorporate new vocabulary, and see/use printed language in everyday situations. Lots of fun play invitations for the littles, and complimentary coffee for the grown ups. Drop-in and play anytime between 10:30 am-2:00 pm.
