The captivating world of animals is coming to life this fall at the Charles L. Durham Library, thanks to an exciting collaboration with the Philadelphia Zoo. The annual Animal Tales series invites families for an educational and entertaining experience with some of the zoo’s remarkable residents.
Beginning in October 2026 and continuing through May 2027, the second Thursday of each month will feature a storytime event at Charles L. Durham Library, starting at 3:45 p.m.. These sessions will not only include engaging stories but also a surprise visit from one of the zoo’s animal ambassadors, making each event a unique experience.
The surprise element of these sessions is part of the charm, as the specific animal guests remain a mystery until the day of the program. This encourages attendees to return each month to discover which creature will be featured next. The upcoming dates for the series are:
- November 12, 2026
- December 10, 2026
- January 14, 2027
- February 11, 2027
- March 11, 2027
- April 8, 2027
- May 13, 2027
These programs are designed for school-aged children along with their parents or guardians, offering a perfect blend of education and entertainment.
Situated just a few blocks from the Philadelphia Zoo, Charles L. Durham Library has been a cornerstone for the Mantua and Powelton communities since 1979, continually providing valuable educational resources and events.
