Derby Public Library to hold Freedom and Flowers story time June 18



We’ll read the book They Built Me for Freedom: The Story of Juneteenth and Houston's Emancipation Park by Tonya Duncan Ellis - a story about the people who helped grow a park where community, joy, and freedom could flourish!

After the story, children will create colorful “Freedom Flowers” filled with hopes, dreams, and kindness for the future to add to our community garden display and/or take home to plant in their own yards!
All ages are welcome! 


Registration recommended to reserve supplies, but all are welcome while supplies last! Please register each child separately so we know how many friends to expect!
