From September 20th to October 3rd, showcase your puppetry skills in the Children’s Department at the Lewiston Public Library in our new puppet theater stand!

A variety of puppets are available to use along with an activity station to make your own puppet to take home. The Puppet Theater Play time program celebrates the Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival in honor of Maine Children’s Author Ashley Bryan.

In addition to the puppet theater, the library will be giving away copies of children’s books selected for this year’s festival. The book giveaway is one copy per child while supplies last. The puppet stand was generously donated by local building contractor, Nate Lavoie.

The Beautiful Blackbird Children’s Book Festival celebrates Black and Black Immigrant children’s books and their creators with an annual 3,000+ book giveaway to Maine families, the production of acclaimed media and activities and live book events.
