Children's Author to Do Reading, Crafts at Newtown Library

Children's author Chrysa Smith will be at the Newtown Library Company Thursday to read her book "No Dogs Allowed." She will also lead crafts. Refreshments will be served.

The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. It is free and open to the public but you should register ahead of time by clicking here.

Smith, a Bucks County resident, has been the recipient of a Mom's Choice Award in juvenile fiction. Her series "The Adventures of the Poodle Posse" was an Amazon's Bookshelf Top Pick in 2011, according to information from the library. 

"This event is perfect for children from 4 to 12 years old, and for parents, aspiring teachers and dog lovers of all ages," information from the library said.

The library describes The Adventures of the Poodle Posse as a series that follows the funny, silly and sometimes clever antics of the ever-growing posse of four-legged characters. No Dogs Allowed is a story that takes place on the Jersey Shore as the posse learns that sometimes when things go wrong, it is even more fun.
