Programs

Join us for a special program with award-winning local author Nancy Castaldo, as she shares stories from her inspiring children’s book Riverkeeper: Protecting an American River and Whales in the City. Through these tales of environmental activism on the Hudson River and in New York Harbor, Nancy will inspire young readers and their families to protect the waters and wildlife closest to home.

After storytime, meet NYSM Curator of Ichthyology Dr. Jeremy Wright, who will be on hand to answer your questions about fish, rivers, and conservation. Then, get creative with a hands-on craft inspired by our local waterways.

This uplifting program celebrates the power of community action, the beauty of nature, and the small steps we can all take to protect our planet — one river at a time.
