Our Programs
We are excited to bring the Adventures of Zach and Ollie to you and your community. Currently, we offer an interactive in-person program, and a program in a box option. See program descriptions below to see which program is most fitting for your library!
The Adventures with Zach and Ollie Storytime
(an in-person storytime)
Cost: $200.00; $30 for each additional program, if you are looking to schedule multiple programs on the same day. Mileage will be charged if your library is 45 miles away from Boone, Iowa (where we will travel from).
This storytime includes the reading of the book, a scavenger hunt, and a craft. Children get a certificate at the end of the program and a sticker welcoming to Zach and Ollie's Adventure Club. This program is open to children of all ages. We schedule our programs for 45 minutes. This program can be scheduled during the day, evening, and on weekends. Interested in booking multiple branches or libraries in your region? We welcome this opportunity as well.
​
Optional: ​​You are welcome to include a book signing as part of this program. Books will be purchased from the authors at the event unless otherwise specified.

Ollie’s Sleepover in a Box
(A program in a box option)
Cost: $125 (we include the return label)
This program provides you everything you need to host an Ollie Sleepover at your library. This is similar to a teddy bear sleepover program. The box includes the book, a plush Ollie, a program guide, and a craft template. A QR code is also included that goes directly to a slide deck of photo frames for you to use, if you decide to share photos with families of all the adventures that occurred during the sleepover. We currently have five boxes in rotation with a two week window for return. You may request only one box at a time for your library or library system.
