History Storytime & Craft for Kids!

Join us in the Reher Center Gallery for a free history storytime and craft activity for kids! This storytime will feature Her Right Foot by Dave Eggers and will be followed by a Statue of Liberty craft. Our gallery can be accessed through our Spring Street courtyard entrance. Please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult. About the book: If you had to name a statue, any statue, odds are good you'd mention the Statue of Liberty. Have you seen her? She's in New York. She's holding a torch. And she's taking one step forward. But why? In this fascinating, fun take on nonfiction, uniquely American in its frank tone and honest look at the literal foundation of our country, Dave Eggers and Shawn Harris investigate a seemingly small trait of America's most emblematic statue. What they find is about more than history, more than art. What they find in the Statue of Liberty's right foot is the powerful message of acceptance that is essential to an entire country's creation. Can you believe that?
