How do skyscrapers get built? How do we know what pieces go where? Kids will learn about the construction process in a reading of Susan L. Roth's Hard Hat Area. This story follows a girl, Kristen, as she discovers the tools, planning, and teamwork needed to build TALL! After the read aloud, we'll put our skills to the test and build our own skyscrapers! Teamwork, determination, and lots of tape will be key! Recommended for ages 3-8.

You must reserve a place for your child/family by clicking the "RSVP" button on the website. This will forward you to Ticketstripe for signup. After registering, you will receive emails to confirm your attendance through a Google Form (you need to fill this out once). If you do not confirm your attendance by Friday morning before the program, your place will be canceled. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian.
