Book Buddies: Paco and the Giant Chile Plant

Join Ranger Sage on Wed., Aug. 27, 5 - 5 p.m. for Book Buddies story time at the Thomas Branigan Memorial Library in Las Cruces, New Mexico. She will read the book "Paco and the Giant Chile Plant." This story is a fun, southwestern twist on “Jack and the Giant Beanstalk.” After the story, children will be able to decorate their own paper chile to add to the community plant that will be displayed in the Reynolds Store Visitor Center at Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site in Mesilla! This program is FREE and open to the public.

This collaboration between Taylor-Mesilla Historic Site and Las Cruces Public Libraries highlights children’s books of the Southwest and creates an experience of engaging in fun and local culture. Thomas Branigan Memorial Library is located at 200 E. Picacho Ave., Las Cruces, NM, 88001.
