Join Kristin Smedley for a Special Braille Experience & Book Reading Event

what I can be is up to me Autor Adventure at Northampton Township Library

Exciting news for families in Bucks County!

On Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 10:30 to 11:30 AM, I will be hosting a very special event at the Children’s Library in the Free Library of Northampton Township.

I’m thrilled to be reading my award-winning children’s book, What I Can Be Is Up To Me—a story that encourages kids to believe in themselves and dream big! After the reading, we have even more fun in store!

What to Expect:

  • Interactive Braille Activities: Children of all ages can get hands-on with braille, the literacy tool for the blind, and learn how it helps the blind and visually impaired read and explore the world of books.
  • Tour of the Braille Collection: After the activities, take a tour of the library’s braille collection in the children’s section—a treasure trove of stories for all readers, whether sighted or blind.
  •  

This is a free event that’s perfect for families and children of all ages. Come out and celebrate literacy and inclusion with us!

Event Details:

  • Date: Saturday, October 5, 2024
  • Time: 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM
  • Location: Children’s Library, Free Library of Northampton Township
    25 Upper Holland Rd, Richboro, PA
  •  

Bring your family, your curiosity, and your love for books—because no matter your ability, what you can be is up to you!


P.S. Share this event with any friends or family who want to explore the world of braille and celebrate the power of inclusive storytelling. We can’t wait to see you there!
