Booksgiving
New this year, Booksgiving is a special day of giving filled with family-friendly booktivities, music, and volunteering. Step into a world of wonder as we celebrate an extraordinarily delightful volunteering event inspired by the beloved classic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. From a magical creation station powered by Painted Penguin and a scavenger hunt for golden tickets to oompa loompa freeze dance, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book reading and movie matinee complete with a coffee, hot chocolate and candy bar — this is a scrumdiddlyumptious afternoon you won’t want to miss!
