11 a.m. 

Join the Akron-Summit County Public Library at the Akron Zoo for a special story time! Listen to a zoo-themed story alongside special guest, Pagos the Galapagos tortoise, who will take the stroll from her habitat to hear the story. 

*Story Time is included with Akron Zoo general admission and free for Akron Zoo members. Pagos appreciates her personal space, and therefore, touching will not be allowed. 

The Akron Zoo is celebrating the Week of the Young Child alongside the Akron-Summit County Public Library with activities throughout the week. This special week is a dedicated time when we celebrate the importance of early childhood and the families, educators and advocates who support these important years in a child's life. Make time for play this week and every week!
