Join New Castle County Libraries as we launch our NEA Big Read with a visit from acclaimed children's book author Carole Lindstrom.
Lindstrom will share a reading from her award-winning picture book, We Are Water Protectors, followed by a moderated conversation, an audience Q&A, and a book signing.
Together, we’ll explore storytelling, environmental stewardship, and the importance of protecting the land and water that sustain us.
