This event will take place at the Middletown Farmers Market, so participants are welcome to bring chairs and blankets, since we will set up on the grass for storytime!

For all ages. Families welcome!

Registration is encouraged (and will close 24 hours before the event begins). 

In the event of inclement weather we will move this program indoors to the Activity Room inside the Russell Library (123 Broad Street, Middletown, CT).

Covid Library Event guidelines: to ensure everyone's safety if any member of your household is experiencing Covid symptoms or is quarantining, we ask that you and your family stay home
