Saturday & Sunday, June 9-August 5
10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.:
Join Kidspace this summer for its first annual Kidspace Book Club! Each week, explore a new topic together by reading a book. After reading your book, pick a fun way to share what you discovered with Kidspace. You might write or sing a song, create a poem, make a piece of art — whatever makes sense to share your book.
