Play & Learn

 

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

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!  

 

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.

Drop-in programs—come for 2 minutes, 20 minutes, or 2 hours.  For families with preschool and elementary-age children.

July 25: Make your own Pool Noodle Light Sabers
 

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.
