Celebrate Love Your Park Week by joining Fairmount Park Conservancy and the Free Library’s Thomas F. Donatucci Branch for a nature-themed craft and storytimes in the park on Saturday, November 11 from 9:30–11:30 AM. Artist AliciaWilbyArt will also be there doing free face painting throughout the morning.

Families can drop in anytime between 9:30–11:30 AM. Storytimes will occur every half hour and will last roughly 15 minutes.
