I hope everyone had a terrific weekend. Here are a few events and activities to try out this week.

Online author’s visit from Chris Van Dussen, Wednesday, July 8th at 8am.

Rockland Public Library’s 2nd week of Summer Reading Program will feature special guest, author & illustrator, Chris Van Dusen.

Chris Van Dusen will be reading a book or two of his and then talking to the group about how he writes and illustrates his books. Listen, learn, and chat with the author live.

You may know Chris Van Dusen from his books The Circus Ship, If I Built a Car, and Down to the Sea with Mr. Magee, but did you know he also illustrated the Mercy Watson series?
