About this Event
Storytime with Stuffies is Under the Umbrella's newest youth activity! Come enjoy an engaging reading of two children's book at 2 pm. Stuffed animal friends welcome but not required! Bring your own or choose from our selection available for purchase.
We will be sitting in the childrens section of the bookstore on rugs and youth chairs, or the cafe depending on the crowd. There will be a snack and sticker provided for all youth that attend.
Every month, there will be new books chosen from the shelves of Under the Umbrella with a focus on BIPOC or disabled authors/stories.
