Activities: 9:30am-12pm, In front of Ames Public LibraryAuthor Talk: 11am, Library Auditorium
Celebrate all things farming with fun activities and a visit from Great Reads from Great Places author Jill Esbaum. Join us outside Ames Public Library where families can get up close with some big tractors and farm machinery, meet farm animals at a petting zoo, and visit with local co-ops and CSAs about their services.
Then head inside to hear from author Jill Esbaum about the inspiration behind her book, "It's Corn Picking Time!" The first 50 participants at the author talk will receive a free copy of the book.
This event is presented in partnership with Ames Public Library and Iowa Center for the Book and sponsored by Chevron. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Supported by Ames Public Library Friends Foundation.
