You’re gonna want to book it to the Downtown library Saturday 9am-12:30pm for this free block party suited for children 12 and under. Highlights include a laser light show, librarian storytimes, puppet making, book giveaways, a Mad Science demo, interactive poetry with Typewriter Rodeo, tree tours and “nature fun” at nearby Seaholm, and more. Plus, the party serves as a kickoff to APL’s summer reading challenge, which you can still sign up for at: austinpubliclibrary.beanstack.org/reader365. Psst: Adults can win a prize for hitting their reading goals, too! – Kimberley Jones
