About this event

Join us in the Children’s Room of the Morrisania Library as we honor a century of adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood. Ever since A.A. Milne’s iconic book was published in 1926, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore have captured the hearts of readers young and old. Now, it’s time to send Pooh Bear some love in return. Children of all ages are invited to drop in and design handmade birthday cards using craft supplies provided by the library. Write a sweet message, draw a pot of "hunny," or share your favorite Pooh quote! Copies of Winnie-the-Pooh, donated by Penguin Random House, will be available to program participants on a first-come, first-served basis. No registration required. Children ages 0-12 and their guardians are welcome.

Come and join staff from the Woodstock Library for a fun and exciting read aloud. Books are even more amazing when we read together.

We will read aloud exciting books new and old, filled with adventure, laughter, and imagination. This program is designed for children who are ready to listen, follow along, and dive into longer, more detailed stories together (typically 6-8 years old).
