Aloha! This past Friday at Story Time it was all about Easter. We read Easter Stories and went on an amazing Easter egg hunt. Thanks to all who came out and partook in this fun holiday event!

The Mandalorian Mercs have stepped out of their Star Wars world and into Bookmans Phoenix for a special Star Wars story time as part of our summer kids events. We’ve asked the Mercs to come in and read some of their favorite kids books to our eagerly awaiting tiny customers. They chose two Star Wards picture books and a couple other animal-related books in honor of animal month in July to read aloud.

"On Christmas eve, many years ago, I lay quietly in my bed. I did not rustle the sheets, I breathed slowly and silently. I was listening for a sound-a sound a friend had told me I'd never hear- the ringing bells of Santa's sleigh" - Chris Van Allsburg. Bookmans Mesa was delighted to present a reading of the classic children's book "The Polar Express" read by the Grand Canyon Railway's Polar express conductor himself!

Bookmans Phoenix was very excited to welcome actor and volunteer, Donna Yolanda for a special BookPALS holiday story time! Children who attended, cozied up in our community room and listened to the tall tales of "The Gingerbread Cowboy" by Janet Squires and "The Christmas Crocodile"  by Bonny Becker and David Small (both picked by Donna, right from the Kids Corner at our store).
