Kick off a summer of reading with a morning at the Library!  We’ll have astronaut-themed games and crafts, plus Paws to Read therapy dogs ready to relax with you, and the official debut of our Storywalk in Katharine Wright Park.  Join us!  

 

 

Program will start in the community room and move outside for the last 20 minutes or so.

Each Petting Zoo begins with a fun half-hour performance of energetic Bluegrass songs featuring fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and upright bass.  Between songs, we talk briefly about each instrument’s cultural background, what makes it unique, and how it’s played.  After the show, we let the children in the audience try out student-sized instruments for themselves.  

What do astronauts and circus performers have in common?  It’s all about balance!  “From the Ring to the Moon—and Beyond” is a fast-paced 45-minute performance of circus skills like wire-walking, juggling, and unicycling. The show includes plenty of audience participation that will fascinate children from Kindergarten through high school! Performers from My Nose Turns Red, of Cincinnati.

This event has already taken place. See other upcoming conversations.

 

Join us at the library booth for a display of this summer’s hottest titles and a children’s activity. On June 22, July 6, and August 24, we will be joined by Paws to Read volunteers—therapy dogs and their human handlers who read with children to encourage reading confidence.
