This year’s theme, “Around the World,” will celebrate diverse cultures, stories, and the Library as a destination of wonder and learning, available to everyone! The event will be a magical afternoon under a festive tent, featuring music, dancing, a short limo ride enabling attendees to “travel” the world, and individual passports to be stamped at cultural food and activity stations. Upon disembarking from their library odyssey, travelers will receive special goody “baggage” filled with sustainable goodies.
