After the book is read\, visitors will make themed crafts: DIY Ghost Hand Puppets. The program will be filled with engaging storytelling and crafts\, providing a time of fun that will ignite a love for reading in young minds. The whole family is invited to participate in the activities\, which are designed to build pre-reading skills and encourage social interaction in an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere.
