Book Buddies Library Lab Storytime

At Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site
4/30/25, Wednesday
4:00pm - 5:00pm

Thomas Branigan Memorial Library

Join Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site in a partnership with Las Cruces Public Libraries for a new series highlighting children’s books of the Southwest. A ranger from Taylor-Mesilla will be at the Branigan Library to read a children’s book about the region followed by a hands-on activity inspired by the book. Ranger Sage will be reading The Chupacabra Ate the Candelabra, by Mare Tyler Nobleman. The Chupacabra Ate the Candelabra tells the story of three silly goats that have decided to try and scare away the legendary Chupacabra, until they learn they may have found a zany (and hungry!) friend instead. After reading the story, make your own pipe cleaner chupacabras.

This program is FREE and open to the public and takes place in the craft room of the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library, 200 E. Picacho Ave., Las Cruces, NM, 88001. Call 575-202-1638 for more information.
