This exhibition celebrates the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s First Folio, the earliest collection of his dramatic work. Without the book’s publication in 1623, nearly half of Shakespeare’s plays would have been lost, including Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest. The show highlights Shakespeare’s legacy in the education and entertainment of young people, in film, and in popular culture.

Toddlers (with a favorite adult) enjoy interactive stories, songs and games that encourage their emerging language skills.

Attendance is limited and free tickets are available 15 minutes before storytime.
