This book club is designed to introduce emerging readers to awesome books. This program does NOT teach how to read, but is instead designed to excite kids about books and reading. This month we will read "A Fox, a Pig, and a Dig". In this funny story Fox will play a trick on Pig at the beach.

We will investigate the book! Who wrote the book? What is on the cover of the book? What do we think this book will be about?

After we read part or all of the book then we will have fun with some activities and/or art that is inspired by the book. We want to excite and inspire the participants to take the book home and read, read, read!!

Designed for K through 2nd grade. Registration is required.

Free and Sponsored by the Friends of the Erie County Library.

June's Au-some Morning is proudly sponsored by UPMC Health Plan 🌈

What is an Au-some Evening?
An Au-some Evening is a specially designed, sensory-friendly event where children with autism spectrum disorder and other sensory sensitivities, and their families, can explore the museum in a calm, supportive environment. We turn down the noise, dim the lights, and open our doors so every child can play, explore, and thrive at their own pace.

What's Different at Au-some Evenings?
To create a more comfortable experience, the following exhibit elements will be powered down or modified:
🌟 Auto Shop Car Elements
🌟 Farm Clouds
🌟 Construction House
🌟 Hammer and Nails Items
🌟 Basement Dehumidifier

Additional Sensory Supports Include:
🌈 Our Quiet Cove will remain unlocked as a calm retreat space throughout the event
🌈 Classroom 1 will be set up as a dedicated sensory-friendly space featuring Magna-Tiles, Squigs, and low-stimulation open-ended play
🌈 Families will have electronic access to our PECs board via QR code at the front desk
🌈 The Light Lab and Flight Lab will be brought into the space

The museum's Social Story is available to read, download, and print ahead of your visit so your child knows what to expect - Printed copies will also be available at the front desk the day of the event.

Bring your favorite blanket or beach towel and get cozy for our Picnic Pals at the Library! Kids will receive their very own small stuffed reading buddy to keep them company during a special picnic complete with PB&J and juice or water. After lunch, children will curl up with their new buddies for 15 minutes of quiet reading time. Each child will be invited to promise to keep reading to their buddy at home until we reunite for more fun next month. It’s a sweet, simple way to build reading confidence, encourage imagination, and make new friends!

We will meet at the front circulation desk and walk out to our Lawn on beautiful days. If rain comes, we will take the fun inside to our Children's Library.

Registration is required.
