Cancelled

Storytime Studio

The May 6 Storytime Studio event has been cancelled. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

Explore how words and illustrations work together in a picture book, then make art!

Preschoolers, kindergarteners, and their caregivers will get to take a closer look at what makes a book special. From the front cover to the back flap, picture books use all of their features to best tell a story. 

After the story, use provided supplies to make art inspired by the book! Wear clothes that can get messy.

View the Storytime schedule at all locations.

This program is generously supported in part by the Port Angeles Friends of the Library.
