Mo Willems coming to the Ossining Public Library via simulcast

We’re having a very special event next Tuesday, October 6th at 2:00 PM! Mo Willems will come to us from his studio via a simulcast and we will broadcast the presentation in our Budarz Theater.  He will walk you through his studio, doodle, show some original drawings from this fall’s new Elephant and Piggie adventure Pigs Make Me Sneeze!***, take (a few) questions, and then… well, then there will be an extra super surprise! Come join the fun!

If your child attends the Now I’m Three program, go to the Theater instead of the Children’s Program Room on Tuesday afternoon.
