Family Literacy Day at the Indiana State Museum

Help Needed!

The Indiana State Museum is hosting Literacy Day on Saturday, March 2, to celebrate reading, books, and language. We will have musical performances, hands on literacy activities, and story times in several different languages. Join us to read, listen, and explore what literacy looks like at all ages.  The activities are listed below, and shifts are 9:45- 1:30; 1:00 – 5:00, or all day.  If anyone can read stories in Spanish, we can definitely use your help!
