Newport Library welcomes
Batman and Batwoman!!
On May 4, Batman and Batwoman visited our children’s library to share their love of
books. They each read one of their favorites, then taught the children to pose like a superhero. The Jacksonville Daily News featured the story for us, so many thanks to them! And
thank you to Batman and Batwoman for such an exciting storytime!
