Storytime and art at the Mural for children ages 3-6

Do you know that in addition to French fries, potatoes make great art supplies?  Come to this program to decorate your very own art smock with potato prints.  We'll also read a funny book about a mutant potato called Rot, The Cutest in the World! by Ben Clanton.  Be prepared to get paint-splattered, so dress for the mess!  This event is held outdoors at the Rockford Public Library Mural, located at 765 N. Madison Street, so prepare for the weather.  Masks are recommended at all in-person events.  Spaces are limited -- so register to reserve your spot!
