Democracy is for all ages! Join us for a voting rights story time presented by The Yellow Roses and the Olney Theatre.

Democracy is for all ages! Get your kids involved by joining us for a voting rights story time this election season! The Olney Theatre and The Yellow Roses are teaming up to read children's stories to inspire, educate, and motivate listeners of all ages about the hard fought fight for women's voting equality.

Follow the journey of a young girl as she meets and is inspired by Susan B. Anthony to participate in activism demanding women's voting rights in California.

After the stories, kids will craft a mini "alligator purse" like the one Susan B. Anthony carried with her as she traveled the county advocating for women's voting rights. They can then fill the mini purse with ideas and pictures about ways they can advocate for causes that are important to them.

About The Yellow Roses: The Yellow Roses is an organization that empowers young people to participate in their democracy, even if they are too young to vote. Since 2020, The Yellow Roses have been organizing community events that bring together families for service learning projects, non-partisan "get out he vote" events, social justice story times, and local park clean-ups. The name "The Yellow Roses" comes from the women's suffrage movement, when people wore yellow roses to demonstrate their support for voting equality. 

This is a free family event, appropriate for all ages. No registration needed.

Generously sponsored by The Olney Theatre.

Library Program Attendance (both virtual and in the branch) is limited to participants within the suggested age range of the program. Children attending an MCPL program under the age of 8 must be accompanied by an adult. Adults attending a program intended for children must have an accompanying child.
