Grab some hot chocolate, your favorite holiday cheer, and your most festive holiday gear/accessories and join us for our 3rd Annual "Story Time" -- a virtual reading that supports the Year Up nonprofit organization during our annual Quarter of Caring. This year, Sean Casey and Matt Dobbins will read Pete the Cat's 12 Groovy Days of Christmas and Duncan and Ridley Roo Go to the Zoo (which is Matt's 2nd book!). After the readings, Sean and Matt will host a Q and A session, so get your questions ready!
