The UNM Bookstore, located on Central Ave. and Cornell NE, hosts a Children’s Book Fair, Saturday, Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fair is a free event and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
This year’s theme for Children’s Book Fair is dogs and cats. Fun activities for children include book readings, face painting, crafts and an appearance from Louie Lobo.
Included in this year’s Children’s Book Fair are illustrators Tricia Tusa, “Fred Stays with Me,” Susan Guevara, “Chato Goes Cruisin,” and Jill McElmurry, “The Hound from the Pound.” They will entertain children with interactive drawings and readings from their books.
An adopt-a-thon featuring plush dogs and cats will also be held as part of the event. Children will receive a certificate of adoption for each pet they “rescue.”
The UNM Bookstore is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Validated parking is available in the parking structure for up to one hour with purchase.
