Join us for an afternoon of fun activities, all about Gerald and Piggie!

Do you love Gerald and Piggie? Come to the Olney Library to celebrate Read Across America Week and these characters. We’ll have a variety of fun activity stations, all related to Elephant and Piggie.

These hands-on activities will stimulate your child’s creativity and imagination and help them develop critical fine motor skills, all while having fun!

This program is designed for children from preschool age and older. Children under 8 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
