13th Noyes StoryWalk® Celebrates Dumplings in Every Culture!

Picture
  res from around the world.
The Noyes Children’s Library Foundation presents Dumplings for Lili  by Melissa Iwai as its 13th free Noyes StoryWalk. Families are invited to read the bilingual picture book on posted signs at Clum-Kennedy Park at 10298 Frederick Avenue, Kensington, MD 20895, from May 7 – June 5, 2022. This StoryWalk is presented in partnership with the Town of Kensington in celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and Older Americans Month.

The award-winning Dumplings for Lili  is a “heartfelt picture book celebration of food, community and family – and little dumpling treasures from around the world.” The book is a multi-cultural culinary trip through an apartment building where six different grandmothers are making their culture’s version of dumplings – and each is missing an ingredient. Lili heads out to borrow cabbage for Nai Nai’s baos, and ends up racing up and down the stairs delivering necessities to all of the cooks. Hint – don’t read this book while you’re hungry!

Foundation Meets Fundraising Goal!

This is the future Noyes Children's Library - MORE space, MORE early literacy programming, MORE outreach, and MORE accessibility for families with physical challenges. 

The
 Make MORE Noyes Renovation Campaign is a major capital project - a partnership between The Noyes Children's Library Foundation and Montgomery County - that will transform the historic one-room Noyes Children's Library into three accessible floors, expanding both its space and its early literacy mission.
​
With your help - and through a State of Maryland grant and additional funds allocated by the Montgomery County Council - The Foundation has reached its fundraising goal! Full details and MORE about the next steps in planning and construction will be coming soon. THANK YOU!


When the Make MORE Noyes project is completed, Noyes will feature a library for young children on the original main level, a flexible program space on the new lower level, and staff and training space on the upper level. All floors will be accessible through an external elevator and will welcome patrons of all abilities with universal design features. The three-story expansion honors the building's original footprint, and enables Noyes to continue to serve the public as a library, as it has since 1893.

Most importantly, the expanded Noyes Children's Library will house the Jan Jablonski Early Literacy Training Center to 
create, model and export best-practice early literacy training. At a time when books, literacy and language are more important than ever, Noyes will serve a critical need throughout the Washington, DC region and beyond.

Make MORE Noyes is being funded by a unique partnership between the Noyes Children's Library Foundation and Montgomery County, MD. The Foundation has committed to raising $1.6 million, with Montgomery County funding the balance of the project.  ​
