Fun-filled event focuses on science, technology, engineering, arts, math
FORT LAUDERDALE/DAVIE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) Alvin Sherman Library will host its annual StoryFest! on Sunday, March 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Guests will enjoy a fun-filled day of storytelling, live shows, crafts and more during this FREE community event. The theme for StoryFest 2023 is Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). We’ll be exploring science, technology, engineering, arts and math with storytelling, theatre shows, music, storybook characters, arts & crafts, interactive science activities, and more!
“We are excited to once again host this family-focused event to benefit the local community,” said Jim Hutchens, NSU’s vice president for information services and university librarian. “Caregivers and children will have the opportunity to read, explore and learn, while also spending quality time together.”
Over the past 10 years, nearly 35,000 residents have attended the event, and more than 18,000 books have been distributed to children in our community as part of StoryFest! As part of the library’s efforts to encourage reading, each child who attends the event will receive a free book, while supplies last. Attendees are kindly asked to RSVP at lib.nova.edu/storyfest
Pre-registration is not required but it will allow guests to be eligible for a prize. Parking will be free throughout the entire event. Children can get their faces painted, design crafts, play sports, explore science, enjoy theatre shows and take photos with Curious George, Llama Llama and Splat the Cat.
Our community’s food insecurity poses an extreme threat to the wellbeing of children and their families. The good news is Feeding South Florida will be distributing food at this year’s event. Free pizza and hot dogs also will be served courtesy of Hungry Howies. In addition, families who pre-register for StoryFest are eligible to win a gift card!
Date and Time: Sunday, March 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m
