P.S. 32 Elementary School Librarian Adam Marcus is throwing a Roald Dahl celebration.
Saturday, Sept. 13

The wonderful little library at P.S. 32 Elementary School, on Hoyt between Union and President streets, is the recipient of a Roald Dahl Charlie and the Chocolate Factory grant. There will be a big party Saturday morning to celebrate! The library at P.S. 32 is truly remarkable, and you can read more here.
With this grant, P.S. 32 received multiple copies of all of Roald Dahl’s books, a giant Charlie and the Chocolate Factory bean-bag chair, and a party sponsored by First Book and Penguin Publishing and Hay Rosie ice cream. All students, staff, and guest are encouraged to come as their favorite character from Roald Dahl’s books (costumes are not mandatory).
