This program for elementary-age children and their families connects kids to a universe of stories: campfire stories, astronomy stories, historic stories, and more!  Join Miss Jacqui and her guests to be wowed and inspired by humanity, the universe, and the interactions between the two.  Please note, due to summer’s late sunsets, the program time varies week to week.  Also, several of the programs are weather-dependent.  Stay up to date with Wright Library programs by liking us on social media.
