Saturday Storytime with Betsy Bird: The Great Santa Stakeout
All Freddy Melcher has ever wanted is a photograph taken with Santa, fresh out of the chimney. On Saturday, Nov. 23rd at 10:30 AM we are delighted to welcome author (and Evanston librarian) Betsy Bird to The Book Stall for a Special Edition of our weekly Saturday Storytime. She will read from and sign copies of her new picture book The Great Santa Stakeout, illustrated by Dan Santat. In it we get to follow Freddy on his quest to get the ultimate selfie. This event is free and open to the public, and recommended for kids ages 4 and up.
