On Saturday, June 1 at 1 PM join returning theater troupe Tempest Productions as they transform the outdoor reading garden space at the Main Library in honor of Maurice Sendak’s classic picture book, Where the Wild Things Are. Stomp your paws, twitch your tail, wiggle and wriggle and snort and growl! In this interactive workshop, we will create and find our own creepy, crawly, hairy, spiky creations. We’ll make our own monster masks and even create our own monster mash dance!

This program is made possible in part by a grant from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts, a division of the Department of State, and administered by the Hudson County Office of Cultural & Heritage Affairs, Thomas A. DeGise, Hudson County Executive and the Hudson County Board of Chosen Freeholders. For more information about Tempest Productions, visit their website at www.tempestproductions.org.

In the event of inclement weather, the festivities will be moved inside our building. The Kearny Public Library is located at 318 Kearny Ave. in Kearny, NJ.
