Join us in the M. Judson Gallery for a super special storytime with author Ashley Belote to celebrate her new book, Don’t Wash Winston!

We’ve all been there… A bit of a spill, an overenthusiastic leap, one mud pie too many, and OH NO! our beloved stuffed animal friend suddenly has to be (gulp) WASHED!

When Winston, Liam’s favorite teddy bear, gets muddy, Dad decides that Winston needs to be washed. But the washing machine is big and loud and scary! Liam decides that the only solution is to hide Winston away from this terrible fate.

Ashley Belote’s humorous and heartwarming tale, Don’t Wash Winston, allows anxious toy-protectors to gleefully follow along with Liam’s teddy-hiding plans, while also, in the end, leading them to the realization that sometimes it really is necessary for even the most beloved friend to be washed.

Enjoy 3 uninterrupted hours of silent reading in the M. Judson Gallery space. Your ticket includes snacks, beverages, and most importantly: peace and quiet.

Through extensive interviews and historical research, Clegg captures the tension, resistance, and ultimate unity that shaped Clarke Central High School’s early years, culminating in Athens High’s unforgettable 1969 state title run.
