Summer Program Highlight

Kamishibai for Kids at the Oxford Lane Library

Children ages 6 – 12 are invited to learn the fun and easy storytelling technique, Kamishibai for Kids, at the Oxford Lane Library. Japanese storytellers used to bike around the countryside with miniature theaters on their bikes. Now you can learn how to tell a story the Kamishibai way. It’s easy and fun to do! Join us on Monday, July 13, 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. (Ages 6 - 8) and 7:15 - 8:15 p.m. (Ages 9 - 12). Registration is required. Call 523-7531, ext. 218.
