Place: all Riverside branches
Come help us celebrate Dr. Seuss’s 118th Birthday!
Dr. Seuss has not only brought us joy through his books, but has taught us to be ourselves and to be kind to each other, as well as our environment. “Today you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!” And we want to see YOU shine through the Take-N-Make kits that are available for pick up at all branches, along with what you care about. So stop on over and pick up Become Your Own Lorax Mustache Take-N-Make kits. After you create your fun photo prop, snap a picture and email it over to the children’s/youth’s librarian (dseidelman@rrlmo.org). Be sure to include what you care about! As the Lorax spoke for the trees, who do you speak for?! You may be featured on our Facebook page for Dr. Seuss week!
Each Riverside Library branch will also have different Dr. Seuss color sheets and color your own bookmark sheets available. Kits and color pages are first come, first served.
