There’s another year of Stores in the Garden coming up at the Hoyt Street Garden (corner of Atlantic Avenue). Per an email:

We have a microphone and an amp, several benches and some mats to sit on. It is a very popular event, especially for families with young children. This year, besides the story reading, we would like to have some volunteer musicians, singers, clowns, and/or magicians to be a part of these events. We plan for two or more volunteers for each Tuesday event. Would you like to perform and/or read at one of our Tuesdays? Please look at the schedule below and e-mail me if you’d like to be a part of this great Brooklyn tradition. This year the FREE Stories in the Garden will be 7:00-8:00 PM on Tuesday evenings, June 24th to July 29th. Specific dates are Tuesday June 24, Tuesday July 1, Tuesday July 8, Tuesday July 15, Tuesday July 22 and Tuesday July 29.

Free cookies and lemonade.
