Families are invited to get fancy with Fancy Nancy illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser!

On April 20th at 11 am, join the library and Robin for a special tea party! Dress in your fanciest clothes or casually for a morning of refreshments, crafts, and lessons on how to be fancy.

Following the activities, our favorite illustrator will sign books available for purchase at the event through the Whale of a Tale Children's Bookshop.

Audience members will have an opportunity to ask Jared questions about the history of the area and museum operation.
