Event Details

One of the finishing prize items for our summer reading program was Why I Love the Library, a book (one per family) by local author Susan Hodel.  On Saturday, September 17th, Ms. Hodel will be our guest reader at a special Washburn Festival Story Time!  She will be reading her story, answering questions, and signing copies of her book.  Please join us for this special Story Time, and bring your book for Susie to sign!  If you don't already have a copy, there will be books available for purchase that day.
