Event Details

Storybox Kamishibai Storytime

Before TV and comic books existed in Japan, there was kamishibai, or paper theater. 

With a wooden box, illustrations, and a great narrator to tell the story, kids will be in for a treat! This special event is presented by Write Out Loud.

Welcome families to Stay and Play!

This program is focused towards children 0-5 years old and their caregivers. Every week we will offer snacks and refreshments, a Storytime and craft to encourage early literacy, and free play to develop fine motor skills. Select dates will include a representative from the community to come speak about various subjects relevant to children under the age of 5. 

There will be play stations set up for children to explore, learn and play while adults will be able to connect, learn and relax.

Each session will feature: 

  • 10:00-10:30am:  Healthy refreshments and snacks
  • 10:30am-11am:  Storytime
  • 11:00am-12pm:  Free play to develop fine motor skills
