Get lost in the magic of a children's book! Story Time is a short 30-minute program that promotes learning through picture books and stories followed by a hands-on activity. This program builds language, literacy and listening skills while promoting a love of books led by prominent figures in the Tulsa community.  Join us at the PSO Reading Tree on April 25 as Gathering Place’s Sustainability Committee reads What If Everybody Did That?, The Life of a Little Cardboard Box, and We Are All Connected. After the story, meet the Sustainability Committee and use everyday items to create your own eco-friendly puppet. Story Time is free and open to the public thanks to the Explore & Imagine program, which is sponsored by the AEP Foundation on behalf of the Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO).  **In case of inclement weather, Story Time will move indoors to Williams Lodge Parlor.
