Storytime with Artists Christopher Myers & Joe Namy
Join celebrated children's book author and contemporary artist Christopher Myers for a storytime as he reads his book Wings. The storytime takes place in the Grand Lobby art installation created by artist Joe Namy, as part of the exhibition Joe Namy: Heavy with Love.
Following Christopher Myers' storytime, children and caregivers are invited to imagine through drawing. All are welcomed to draw and write on posters, provided by the library and created by artist Joe Namy, who will co-facilitate this art making portion of the program.
We welcome ages 5-12 for this experience.
