**When:** Saturday, March 19 at 11am  
**Where:** Greenlight Bookstore at 686 Fulton Street  
**What:** New York City in the 1860s was a mess: crowded, disgusting, filled with garbage! You see, way back in 1860, there were no subways, just cobblestone streets. That is, until inventor and maker Alfred Ely Beach had the idea for a fan-powered train that would travel underground. On February 26, 1870, after fifty-eight days of drilling and painting and plastering, Beach unveiled his masterpiece—and the rest is history. After all, sometimes it just takes one idea to get things rolling! Brooklyn-based author and editor [Shana Corey](http://www.shanacorey.com/?ref=bklyner.com)’s beautiful picture book *The Secret Subway* will wow readers, just as Beach’s underground train wowed riders over a century ago. Join us for a story time with Shana and discover the fascinating, little-known story of New York City’s first subway. **Ages 3 to 8.**
