Art Activity: Create paper lanterns filled with colors and light.

  • From 11AM-2PM, enjoy music by a local DJ, get cozy in the book nook, sketch with water, and get book recommendations from the LIbrarian on the Go.
  • At 12PM and 1PM, sit and experience the soothing sounds of crystal bowls as they quiet your mind and lead you into a relaxed and introspective state.
  • At 12:30PM, listen to stories, songs, and rhymes in Storytime with Librarian on the Go.

*Museum admission is free from 11AM – 5PM for all visitors, with Play Day offerings happening between 11AM – 2PM.
