Bookstore Stages Basketball Book Bash

Bookstore & Colgate Women's Basketball team collaborate in hoop-themed children’s program

The Colgate Women’s Basketball team and the Colgate Bookstore will host a basketball-themed children’s book party on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 11a.m. in the Class of 2003 Events Room.  Members of the team will read two stories, answer questions about their own hoop adventures, and help children make a basketball craft. Snacks will also be provided. The program is free and open to children of all ages and their families, but mainly geared towards ages 3-7.

Those who attend will receive a party favor and a coupon for 20% off basketball picture books.

The featured stories will include:

Dino-Basketball  by Lisa Wheeler. When the plant-chewing Grass Clippers face the red-toothed Meat on the basketball court at Mastodon Square Garden, it's a showdown of pre-hysteric proportions. Herbivores and carnivores face off in a close game that includes dunks, alley-oops, and fun for players and spectators alike.

The Basket Ball by Esme Raji Codell. Lulu likes make-up and dolls, but she loves playing basketball. When the boys won't let her join their school-yard team, she decides to host a Basket Ball--where ball gowns are traded in for sequined basketball jerseys. Girls travel from all over the world to attend the ball, shooting hoops, showing off their skills, and forming a league of their own.

Advance sign up is not necessary for this program. Please contact the bookstore at 228-7480 with any questions.
