Join us at Phil Hardberger Park for a special election year program with Catherine Stier, author of award-winning children’s books, and representatives from the San Antonio League of Women Voters. This is a “Come & Go” event - families may stop in for one or both story times, create an election-themed craft and vote for their favorite wildlife inhabitants while enjoying a day together at the park! All ages welcome (children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian).
 

10:00 am – A VOTE IS A POWERFUL THING STORYTIME AND DISCUSSION

Catherine Stier reads her book A VOTE IS A POWERFUL THING (School Library Journal Starred Review). Next, join in our discussion of how people have campaigned to protect parks and natural areas – just like Callie and her grandma champion their community’s wilderness park in this story!

10:30 am – FUTURE VOTER CRAFTS AND ACTIVITIES

Stop by our crafts table where kids can create their own “Future Voter” campaign-style buttons , draw themselves as President, or take part in additional activities provided by the San Antonio League of Women Voters.
