Join us as we celebrate the first day of our StoryWalk. Walk through Katharine Wright Park to read and interact with “Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me” by Eric Carle.  Come into the Children’s Room from 10am-12:00pm on June 1 for a related craft and snack.  StoryWalk available for viewing until August 11, weather permitting.  

Join Miss Karen for an imaginative and musical program where we play with parachutes, egg shakers, scarves, rhythm sticks, and more while developing literacy, social, and fine and gross motor skills. A half hour of structured moving and learning will feature a different prop each week, as well as a related book and activities, with a half hour of free play to follow. Geared toward children ages 2-8 and their caregivers, Music and Movement is an exciting and engaging learning and play experience.

July 25: Make your own Pool Noodle Light Sabers
 

This program for elementary-age children and their families connects kids to a universe of stories: campfire stories, astronomy stories, historic stories, and more!  Join Miss Jacqui and her guests to be wowed and inspired by humanity, the universe, and the interactions between the two.  Please note, due to summer’s late sunsets, the program time varies week to week.  Also, several of the programs are weather-dependent.  Stay up to date with Wright Library programs by liking us on social media.

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.
