Unique kid's program at The Long Island Museum

Emma Clark Library and The Long Island Museum in Stony Brook have partnered for a unique program (grades 4 – 6 and their families), which includes a book discussion and an opportunity to tour parts of the museum. This collaborative book club uses the museum to enhance book discussions – it’s a chance to share a one-of-a-kind reading experience, and we’re thrilled to offer it to Three Village.

Sunday, March 22, 4:00 – 5:15pm

Dash by Kirby Larson in conjunction with the exhibit Ansel Adams: Early Works. Mitsi Kashino loves her dog, Dash, more than anything. She also loves her family and two best friends, but following the attack on Pearl Harbor and America’s entrance in World War II, everything in Mitsi’s life changes. Now, her friends won’t speak to her and the class bully antagonizes her even more. Before long her family is forced to leave their home and go to an internment camp where no pets are allowed. With the help of a friendly neighbor back home who cares for her dog, Mitsi remains connected to Dash. In spite of hard times, Mitsi holds on to the hope that the war will end soon and life will return to normal. Will Mitsi and Dash ever be reunited? Register in-person at the library. Books will be supplied at the time of registration at Emma Clark.
