Book talk & signing with David Macaulay
We work. How? How does bllod flow? How do we feel when we touch? How do we move? What makes everything we do happen? Critically acclaimed author and illustrator David Macaulay explains how WE work in a free booktalk and signing at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, January 13 at Tacoma's downtown Main Library. [Learn more]
One small robot with one BIG heart!
One of the best film of 2008. A pure masterpiece, the film wraps you in utterly delightful charm and humanity. It's beautifully done, funny and heartfelt. Not only will children be enthralled by the sheer brilliance of this film, but adult audiences will be swept away by its bewitching magic. A true family film. (Check out all our programs and events for children and families)
Tacoma Reads (and grows... and eats)!
You are invited to join us as the Tacoma Public Library and a host of other community organizations talk about the food we eat... and grow.
