After a bit of a hiatus, the staff at Secret Garden Bookshop is gearing up for some programming they have done one million times over in the store's nearly 40-year history: story time! Every Monday evening, from 7 to 7:30 p.m., kids and families can listen to the best in the newest picture books.
Sometimes the reader will be a local author/illustrator, or an author or illustrator on a national tour. At other times the reader will be a staff member, but it will still be free and worth doing. And, like the best parties, prizes will be given to each child as they walk out the door.
The Secret Garden Bookshop is located at 2214 NW Market St. in Seattle. To learn more about bookstore events, visit secretgardenbooks.com.
