Children's Book Reading Program

by jcs93 last modified 2012-01-23 11:58

Every Third Thursday at 3:30 P.M. during the Fall and Spring semesters when classes are in session, the Adelson Library hosts the "Kid's Corner", a children's reading program. Often, hands-on activities follow the reading. Open to persons of all ages, this program and the books we read are intended for school-age children.
