Breathe in the summer air, soak up the sunshine and dive into adventure with our Outreach team and the Bookmobile! Join us on Wednesdays at Central Park (behind Annerino) and at a different park each Friday. Remember, attending an event, exploring the Bookmobile and visiting a park each count as one point toward your Summer Adventure—that’s three points each time you visit us!
Looking for even more fun this summer? Enjoy our community storytimes, participate in a building activity at our LEGO Club at the Museum or say hi when you see us at community events.
