Please join author Constance Lombardo for a very special virtual program presented by Buncombe County Libraries. Ms. Lombardo will read from her new book “Everybody Says Meow” and then teach you how to draw your very own kittens! Rumor has it that some silly puppets might even make an appearance. Afterwards there will be a short Q&A session where you can ask her a question!
The program will be presented via ZOOM on Saturday, May the 23rd at 4pm.
