Storybook Discovery Saturdays

11:00 a.m. to Noon
Please join us in the parlor for a special treat!
Once a month we host a storybook and discovery activity for young children
(6 and under) with Ambar Ramirez and Dr. Marge Hendler.
Elizabeth Orth, who established the museum, was a teacher and had a
special interest in collecting children’s books, appreciating
the worlds they could open.
We celebrate her love of books - and the joy of reading by cultivating
young readers.
Suggested contribution of $1 for children.
