CISH is an exciting collaboration between the Wisconsin International Resource Consortium, including the Center for Russia, East Europe, and Central Asia, and Wisconsin Public Libraries. This vibrant series of weekly events encourages children to explore the rich diversity of global arts, culture, and language through storytelling. Each session spotlights a different country, featuring engaging tales, lively music, hands-on crafts, and interactive cultural experiences led by special guest speakers. It’s a fun and educational journey around the world—without leaving your library! The event is free and designed for children ages 5–10 and their caregivers but all are welcome!
