The Otis Library Children’s Department and the Harris Sisters Month Committee present “Sweet Treats & Stories,” a program that combines a story time with a delicious dessert. Who can resist this combination?! Designed as a family event, the program will begin with at least one story about the importance of equality, mutual respect and cooperation. The program will end with a no-bake, dessert-making workshop led by Sweet Momma’s, a Black, woman-owned bakery in Norwich. Jean Smith, owner of Sweet Momma’s, will lead the children in creating individual, take-home servings of the bakery’s signature banana pudding, a treat with a strong African American heritage.*  Sponsored by The Elsie Brown Fund.

Registration begins Monday, March 24.  Registration is required by Wednesday, April 16.

*Note: The dessert ingredients include gluten, eggs, and dairy products.

Otis Library was designed to accommodate people of all abilities.  To request an accommodation, please contact Julie at jmenders@otislibrarynorwich.org.
