The Malibu Library hosted a special event for children, Dia De Los Niños, An International Tea Party, last Wednesday afternoon. Children gathered around for story time with children’s librarian Leena Walker, who read excerpts from “Master Davey and The Magic Tea House, Legend of the Blue Tiger.” Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf representatives Elijah Katz and Leanna Lawson spoke to the children about a variety of teas while brewing up African Sunrise for them to sample. Walker displayed a wide variety of teapots and guests nibbled on cookies from around the world.
