About this Event
Join us in making a story rug for Kepler’s! This will be a place where we can come together and hear one another’s stories. Leave your mark at Kepler’s by donating fabric or joining us for a read aloud of Sophie Blackall’s , illustrated by Phoebe Wahl. In the book, the kids from classroom 203 come together to give their old fabric new life as the classroom’s story rug! It’s a joyous celebration of community, crafting, and storytelling itself.
We are inviting the community to help us by:
- Donating fabric from your own homes (see details below)
- Joining us for a free story time and braided rug making tutorial - registration encouraged!
Come back October 17 to see our completed story rug during our next storytime: Home is a Door We Carry by Constantin Satüpo!
Both of these events are in support of this summer’s Community Reads: America 250! Visit our webpage here for more information.
For fabric donations - please follow these guidelines:
* Must be clean
* No stretchy material
* Should be natural materials
* Examples: curtains, jeans, saris, cotton shirts, tablecloths
We will accept fabric donations in the store through September 12th for the Kepler’s Story Rug.
Children should be accompanied by an adult at our in-store events.
We want Kepler’s to be a welcoming and comfortable space for everyone. If you are feeling unwell, especially with respiratory symptoms, please stay home. Thank you for helping us create a safe and considerate environment for our community.
