  • Parachute Playtime will be held on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. The program includes energetic, imaginative fun games with a parachute for grown-ups and children ages 2-4.
  • Dogs will lend their ears to young readers who want to practice reading out loud in “Wag Your Tale” on Saturday at 3 p.m. Although dogs aren’t good conversationalists, they make great listeners. Children who are tentative about their reading skills can gain confidence by reading to an uncritical canine companion.
