A past Children's African Story Hour.

media release: The African Studies Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is proud to present the Children’s African Story Hour (CASH). Join us every other Monday at Madison Public Libraries between the hours of 2-3pm or 4-5pm (depending on the library) in a fun and relaxing atmosphere as we share award-winning children’s literatures that celebrate the diversity of art, culture, food, and language across the African continent. Participants will engage in hands-on creative activities and will have the opportunity to sample different African cuisines. Each week promises to be fun and enriching!

We will have the Children’s African Story Hour at Pinney Library (516, Cottage Grove Rd) and Goodman South Madison Library (2222, S Park St) this school year.
