CORONA—Home Gardens Library is launching a series of multicultural book-based programs for children and parents. Books, craft materials, and snacks will be distributed to the participants and appropriate social distancing precautions will be observed. 

On October 6, Jolinda Curtin, a reading specialist and retired teacher, will be reading and discussing “Dreamers” by Yuyi Morales. The book is a celebration of making your home with the things you always carry: your resilience, your dreams, your hopes and history and why our stories need to be recorded in a book. Each participant will get a journal kit with a handmade Memory Bag, a blank journal, pencil, and markers. Kathyrn Duncan, an artist, will show participants how to jazz up their journal with art, while Ms. Jolinda will teach them how to journal. This event will be 90 minutes long from 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm. Please bring a few meaningful memorabilia along with a picture that you can cut to fit the bag!

October 6, 4:00-5:30 p.m. Home Gardens Library Basketball Court 3785 Neece Street Corona, CA 92879 Please RSVP by calling 951-279-2148! Please visit www.rivlib.net for more information!
