Board Meetings
Story Time: Our Drag Queen Story Time is just called "Story Time" because drag queens are the intended audience, the queens can also be kings, and no one has to wear drag. At registration, each participant will be asked to upload a headshot and bio. Our librarian uses this content to create original stories for each performance, featuring the audience members as characters. Enter your IVAN Library card number to access the scheduler.
