Storytime: Cast Your Vote! with Ms. Kathy and Ms. Erika

Election day is Tuesday, June 22nd! Join Cortelyou, Midwood, and Gravesend Libraries for a fun, family program and learn why voting is so important through stories, songs, and rhymes. Remember, it's an election year in NYC and we now have Ranked-Choice voting! Ms. Kathy and Ms. Erika will be streaming on the Brooklyn Public Library Family Facebook Page and Cortelyou Library's Facebook page. Pick up Grab & Go Voting goodie bags at Midwood Library on 16th St. at Avenue J while supplies last!

This great song will be sung between the stories. We hope you can sing along!

V-O-T-E VOTE!
(tune: BINGO)

I have a ballot in my hand (pretend to hold a piece of paper)
And I am going to vote
V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! (clap hands for each letter)
And I am going to vote.

I’ll choose the one I want to win (pretend to make a check mark)
By marking off the name
V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! (clap hands for each letter)
By marking off the name.

They’re counting up the votes right now (count on fingers)
I hope my choice will win
V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! (clap hands for each letter)
I hope my choice will win.

But win or lose I’m very glad (thumbs up, thumbs down)
That I participated
V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! V-O-T-E Vote! (clap hands for each letter)
That I participated.

Election Day is Tuesday, June 22nd!
Early voting is from Saturady, June 12th to Sunday, June 20th
