Summer Learning Program Kick-Off with Kate DiCamillo
Summer Learning Program
Kick off the Missoula Public Library’s Summer Learning program with New York Times best-selling children’s book author, Kate DiCamillo. DiCamillo, winner of 2 Newbery Medals and former National Ambassador for Young Peoples Literature, will join us live via Zoom on June 1st at 11 AM for a conversation about reading and writing with some of her well-loved characters such as Winn Dixie, Mercy Watson, Edward Tulane and many more. Pick up your summer reading log and start your summer reading adventure with Kate and friends at your library. The event will have craft activities for kids to do as well.
