Vietman veteran and Artist Gary Keene (Acoma, Diné) will be our guest storyteller. Like the veterans, each child will get a complimentary Pueblo cookie from the Indian Pueblo Kitchen after Story Time has ended.
On Saturday, November 25—Thanksgiving weekend—our theme is “Family”, and the book titles will be Fry Bread, A Native American Family Story and Forever Cousins. After Story Time has ended, each child will get fry bread from the Indian Pueblo Kitchen, compliments of the IPCC Volunteer Program.

A small sample of the skills developed when children attend Story Time sessions:
- Increases vocabulary and overall brain development. Improves attention, concentration and listening skills.
- Increases creativity and imaginative thinking.
- Social and communication skills development and most importantly, it is fun, and children get to spend quality time with an adult who is important to them-YOU!
