September Programs

Children & Family

Author Visit: Bob Vajgrt – Along for the Ride [All Ages]

Tuesday, September 9, 6:00-7:00 PM

 

Join Greenfield resident and author Bob Vajgrt as he celebrates the launch of his new children’s book, Along for the Ride—a touching story about a father and his children growing together through everyday car rides, from day care drop-offs to high school graduation. While the father sets out to teach life lessons, he ultimately discovers how much he’s learned from his kids along the way.


Bob will read his story aloud and answer questions about the book and his experience writing and publishing an illustrated children’s book. Kids can enjoy fun activities and take home stickers featuring Bunny and Teddy, two charming characters who appear throughout the story.


A limited number of books will be available for purchase at the event.
