Local Arizona childrens book authors will be reading their stories at Pueblo Grande Museums Arizona Authors Summertime Storytelling & Craft Saturdays this summer! In June and July, from 10 a.m. to noon, children in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade will enjoy a story time lead by the authors, then get to do a fun story related craft, and enjoy a light snack.
Each program is $5 and includes Museum entrance for participants. Pre-registration is not required but recommended as space is limited. All participants must be accompanied by an adult. Visit pueblogrande.com for more information on each story and to register!
The Arizona Authors Summertime Storytelling & Craft Saturdays is also part of the Maricopa County Reads program, where children can get badges and points for participating in different programs around the Valley. Attend a storytelling program at Pueblo Grande to get a secret code and enter them at maricopacountyreads.org to collect badges! Each book will also be available for purchase in the Museum store so that families can have a signed copy of their favorite stories. This summer reading program was made possible in part by a donation from Safeway and Bookmans.
