“When I Close My Eyes” Storytime and Craft with the Author!

On Monday, July 12 at 11 am, join author Ty Allan Jackson in the Berkshire Athenaeum’s auditorium for Storytime and Craft!

Ty will read his book “When I Close My Eyes” to be followed by an opportunity to meet the author and participate in a collage craft activity inspired by the book. 100 signed copies of “When I Close My Eyes”, along with handy tote and pencil case, have been donated by Blue Q for children who attend this event. The event is free, and no registration is required. Masks are required for all indoor children’s programs at the library.
