For children who would rather move than sit through a long reading, Bellevue pairs a short story with dancing and simple rhythm props. The half-hour program is designed for families with children from 18 months through age 5. Go to the Whole Meeting Room for the 11:30 a.m. start. Both November 12 and 19 are explicitly listed by the library. No admission price is stated on the event page, so this occurrence is not tagged Free.
Thursday's museum evening has an unusually useful bonus: Café Society is free to everyone from 4 to 8 p.m., while the main program runs 5 to 8. There is a 6 p.m. curator conversation in Abbott Hall and a collaborative paper-feather art activity with David Manzanares throughout the evening. Start at the Hawks Pavilion welcome table for a map. Food and drinks are sold separately, and the Founder's Room is designated as a quiet space.
