Author/Illustrator Marietta Apollonio will be reading her debut picture book Jack the Library Cat and drawing some cat-tastic art.

About the book: Jack The Cat is a stray cat who keeps turning up for story time at the library, but animals aren't allowed in the building, and besides, the children's librarian is not a cat person. Then a boy named Pascal crosses paths with the friendly feline and sneaks him inside. Soon enough, the stray cat gets a name, a home, and a group of kids clamoring to read to him. Could life be any more purr-fect?

After the reading there will be printed out coloring and activity sheets from Marietta's website for the children.
