2, 3-4, 5-6, 7+, and their parent(s).  Each group will have a person reading aloud to them,
followed by a short discussion of what was read. Afterward, the families will meet on the lanai
for free refreshments, prizes, and books. This month’s program features a special appearance
by Nancy Tashima curator and science teacher of the Onizuka Space center. Her presentation
