This event will introduce children to the Arabic language through story, a sensory activity, and a puzzle-based activity. Children will also have the opportunity to create a decorative lantern used to commemorate Ramadan, an important month for many Arabs around the world.

Located in a small "Florida Cracker" style building, with an appealing wrap-around porch, the Windermere branch has an interesting history that spans over four decades. Begun as a town library, it became a branch of the Orange County Library System in August 1991. The current building was constructed through the efforts and the generous donations of many Windermere residents, including those of the Franklin P. Chase Family.
