PITTSFIELD, Mass. (August 25, 2026) – The Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield’s Public Library, Pittsfield’s CFCE, and Central Berkshire ParentChild+ are pleased to announce that Curiosity Day is coming to the Library once again. Families are invited to join us on Saturday, September 19, 2026, from 10:30 am–12 pm at the Berkshire Athenaeum. This year’s event will focus on Laura Numeroff’s beloved children’s book If You Give a Pig a Pancake. Children and families will enjoy a fun-filled story time, create their own snack at a pancake bar, receive a free book, and explore a variety of interactive STEAM station activities.
“Curiosity Day gives young children and their families the opportunity to explore, ask questions, and learn through hands-on STEAM activities inspired by a favorite children’s book,” said Sara Russell-School, youth services supervisor at the Berkshire Athenaeum. “This year, we’re excited to bring If You Give a Pig a Pancake to life with plenty of opportunities for families to discover and have fun together.”
This family event is free. No registration is required but children under 10 must be accompanied at all times by an adult over 18 years of age. This program is sponsored in part by the Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield’s CFCE, Central Berkshire ParentChild+, and the Friends of the Berkshire Athenaeum.
