About the event

Did you know that Durham is home to a women's professional softball team? The Carolina Blaze are one of the four original teams in the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) - a professional softball league in the United States.

The Carolina Blaze will be co-hosting a family storytime with Durham County Library! Come meet some of the players, enjoy a softball themed storytime, and a craft. The event is open to families and all ages.

You can catch the Durham County Library Bookmobile at the Carolina Blaze game on Saturday, July 18th.

This program has a mix of sensory elements, some high energy (e.g. singing and moving) and some low energy (e.g. listening quietly to stories).

If you have any accessibility questions or accommodation needs, please contact Sara at sgibson@dconc.gove. We ask that all requests be made at least 3 business days prior to the event to ensure we can provide the best accommodations possible.
