Earth Day Event with author Taunya English

at Gaithersburg Library

Gaithersburg Library is teaming up with Flower Hill Elementary for a special Earth Day event with author Taunya English to celebrate her new book about birding!

Drop in anytime from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. to meet author Taunya English and listen to her new book, Honeybird Blue, then get creative with crafts and activities inspired by birding and nature as we celebrate Earth Day. Taunya will read her book a few times throughout the two hours, so there will be multiple opportunities to hear it!
