This year, Bookmans Midtown hosts their own Lorax party, a seusstacular Earth Day celebration. With the help of our very favorite entertainer, Silly Tassie, we’ll have face painting, crafts, games, prizes and the chance to plant your very own seeds. Bring out your inner Lorax and speak for the trees with Bookmans Midtown.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot. Nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
