The Science and Absurdities of Living in Outer Space

Join us for an out-of-this-world conversation with bestselling authors Kelly and Zach Weinersmith as they dive into their book, A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?

Preschool Storytime @ Alamitos

Preschool Storytime is designed especially for children ages 3-5 years old to give them access to opportunities that promote school success and build early literacy skills (what children know about reading and writing before they can actually read and write). Preschoolers are encouraged to see themselves as readers through focused interactions with library staff who present imaginative stories to demonstrate pre-reading skills. Story sessions typically last 30-40 minutes and include stories, flannel boards, fingerplays, and big body movement activities. Come spark your child's love of reading: talk, sing, read, write, and play with us! Upstairs in the Community Room. Stair access only. Library Location: Alamitos. Event Type: Storytime. Audience: Preschoolers (3-5 years). Contact Name: Children's Librarian. Contact Phone: (562) 570-1037. Department: Long Beach Public Library.
