Join us this winter for Family Saturdays! Explore how history connects us all during this hour-long storytime program designed for children ages 4 to 10 and their families.

This month’s Family Saturday story is Me On The Map, by Joan Sweeney, a book about the importance of map skills. We’ll read the book together and spend time practicing map skills in our exhibition The Mountain Was Out. Then, you’ll have the chance to create your own map of a place you’d like others to explore.
