Five special story times are planned in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15 – Oct. 15) at the i.d.e.a. Museum.
Books selected aim to showcase Hispanic contributions to the arts, from authors and illustrators to visual and performance artists. All story times take place on Saturdays.
On Sept. 18 and Oct. 16, the museum staff will present traditional story times in the reading nook within our Robo Art exhibition. Both begin at 11:15 a.m.
While on Sept. 25, Oct. 2 and Oct. 9, staff will offer an Artful Tales Story Time, which feature a related art, music and/or movement activity immediately after the book reading.
