Food Storytimes at Whole Foods in Capitola

KidReach (Youth Services Outreach) is partnering with Whole Foods Market in Capitola to bring storytimes to the community. Storytimes all have a food theme. We started in January with a pizza storytime and pizza snacks from the Whole Foods Pizzeria. February was stories about Chinese food in honor of the Lunar New Year.

The next storytime is on Thursday, March 25 at 10 AM. Come celebrate Ireland, hear stories about potatoes, and see and sample the many varieties of potatoes and potato foods.

Food storytimes at Whole Foods are scheduled for the fourth Thursday of the month through May.
April 22 - Bread
May 27 - Mexican Food
See you there.

Origami Workshop

Learn origami and Japanese as you fold along with Koh (Takagi) Stubbe in a free workshop. Anyone over five years of age is welcome (we would appreciate parent participation for children under age 7). A sheet of paper can become an animal, a box, or a flower. There will be a brief introduction in English, but the rest of the workshop will be conducted in Japanese. You can even ask Koh how to write your name in Japanese! NO prior experience in Japanese or origami is necessary.

Wednesday, March 3 from 3-5pm at the Central Branch Library

Picture Books Around the World

Do you want to see the world? You can travel to distant lands from the comfort of your favorite armchair by reading the picture books listed on our Picture Books Around the World Book List. Reading books written by foreign authors and set in foreign countries is a great way to learn about other cultures and gain an understanding of how different the experience of childhood can be in other parts of the world.
