Raising a Reader hosts its second annual Children’s Arts and Literacy Festival on Oct. 7 at the Glenwood Springs Public Library from 2 to 5pm. The afternoon will include storytelling, arts and crafts and music exploration (all geared toward children 8 and under) for free. Local authors will be present to read their children’s books and every child will receive a book to take home along with other swag. Courtesy photo from last year’s event
