Bridgeside Books hosts members of Waterbury Ambulance Service for a storytime, Q&A, and fundraiser this Sunday, Sept. 18, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Ambulance team members will set up at the bookstore for a reading by an EMT of the children's picture book, "Emergency Monster Squad" by Dave Horowitz at 11:30 a.m.

From noon to 3 p.m. ambulance members will have a show-and-tell for the public. Kids are encouraged to visit to get an up-close look at an ambulance and ask lots of questions.

Copies of the book will be available for purchase with 50% of the sales supporting fundraising for Waterbury Ambulance Service's new ambulance station project. Waterbury Ambulance is looking to build a new station on a site along Route 100 in 2023.
