All Seuss and NOTHING BUT Seuss!

Posted in

Ripon Public Library and Ripon Education Association are proud to present a celebration of all things Seuss. This annual event, known nation-wide as “Read Across America,” is celebrated on the birthday of Theodor Geisel, otherwise known as Dr. Seuss. In Ripon, festivities will be held on Tuesday, March 2 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the Ripon Public Library.

The event will feature “The Cat” himself, birthday cake, games, puzzles, crafts, prizes, and of course an abundance of books by Dr. Seuss in both English and Español. Of special note will be the unveiling of a series of larger-than-life, Seuss-inspired games custom-created by local artist Ann Pahlas. Seuss-Twister anyone? How ‘bout a fishin’ trip down to McElligott’s Pool?
 
Come as you are, or in costume. How ever you come, plan to enjoy the effervescence and magic of one of the most prolific and influential writers of children’s books ever to live.
 
This free program is made possible through the generosity of the Friends of the Ripon Public Library and Ripon Education Association, with lots of help from community volunteers, teachers and Ripon College students in the Bonner Program. Registration is not required. For more information, contact Ripon Public Library at 748-6160, or Linda DeCramer, decramer@riponlibrary.org.
