Join us for a storytime and a hands-on art activity in partnership with Black Men Read! BMR will read stories, ask questions, listen, and share their own experiences at this First Fridays event. Each child can choose a book to take home courtesy of a grant from the Rotary Club of Ann Arbor.
BMR has been uplifting Black men, all children and all communities, through the power of stories from the African diaspora since their founding in 2016. Visit bmrkids.org for more information on this local non-profit.
