FREE Storytime on Tuesday, July 16, at 3:30 PM!

Theme: Accessibility!

People move around differently: we walk and use wheelchairs, walkers, and canes. We’ll discuss movement and what makes a building fair or unfair. Activities include reading aloud, discussion, and drawing.

Rokeby offers FREE, anti-bias-themed family storytimes on third Thursdays during the summer. Grab a blanket and spread out under the locust trees (rain location available). Admission to Rokeby is free on Tuesdays after 1:00 p.m.

Explore our racial learning children’s room, exhibits, grounds, and story walk. Learning themes are designed for children ages 3-7, but babies, toddlers, and everyone are welcome.
