Program Description

Event Details

Imagine if you had a story arrive letter by letter, but you got to choose what happened next? It would be like the nostalgic Choose Your Own Adventures books, but in snail mail style!

For the next two months, enjoy the magic of whimsical stories written by your very own librarians. Your child will get a story in the mail every other week—with a twist! They get to choose what happens next! Each letter will end with three options for where to take the story. Hurry back to the library before the deadline to turn in your choice and receive the next story installment!

Your first Tale in the Mail will be mailed on April 10th. You will receive 5 letters to complete your story.
