English Professor Fran Dolan will be reading picture books during Storytime in the Shields Library Courtyard on Picnic Day.

It’s Library-Palooza on Picnic Day!

Join us for children's storytime, Egghead exhibits and coloring sheets, AR Sandbox and more

If you’ll be attending UC Davis Picnic Day this Saturday, stop by Shields Library from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.! We’ve got lots of fun (and egg-citing!) activities for all to enjoy:

You can also find us unleashed at the parade…

Planning to attend the Picnic Day paw-rade? Look for our Archives and Special Collections team! In celebration of the 75th anniversary of the School of Veterinary Medicine, they’ve recreated a historical float from 1957, featuring a giant Scotty dog being groomed and cared for by Vet Med students.

…and virtually (if you can’t make it in person)!

If you can’t make it to Picnic Day this year, you don’t have to miss out! Enjoy some Aggie nostalgia on your own schedule with our Picnic Day Digital Collection, which includes program booklets dating back to 1909, our online exhibit Picnic Day: By the Decade, and historic Picnic Day films on our YouTube channel. Or download and print our egg-xclusive Egghead coloring sheets to color at home! Share your art by tagging us @UCDavisLibrary on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter/X.
