Summer with the Rochester Library, for kids!
I’m SO EXCITED for summer!!! How about you??? Let’s do some super-cool way fun stuff!
Stories in the Park will be back at Rochester’s Farmers’ Market, starting June 14!! Yay! Yipee! Etc!! Come for an hour of stories, experimentation, and general goofiness. 3:30.
Kids are also invited to join Wild Days Out with the Library! On three summer Saturdays, we’ll explore the natural world. June 8 is our first meeting, on the Rochester’s beautiful park, at 1 pm. Come get some gear to help you better explore and understand the wildness all around us, make a nature journal, and play some fun nature games!
Learn How at the Library is a summer program funded by the Winnie Belle Learned Fund. All kids who visit the library will be able to choose a how-to book to learn a new skill–to keep! All books will come with basic supplies to get kids started on their learning adventure! THIS IS SO COOL!! Additionally, there will be 4 in-person sessions to learn how together! You can learn how to write a story (a REAL author will teach you!), how to crochet, how to whistle VERY loudly, and some other very, very fun stuff. July 11, 18, 25, and August 1, 3:30-4:30.
Dogs Love Stories, Too! is a summer reading program for anyone interested. Read a book, share some pictures, or just offer gentle pats to the wonderful, adorable Shelby. Shelby will be here on June 15, July 20, and August 17, with her lovely human, Joanne, who also loves stories (but not so much the pats).
Lastly, thanks to the Summer Reading Program Grant from the state Department of Libraries, we’ll be hosting The Busy Morning Band on August 9th! In addition to some great tunes (which you can listen to on Spotify), the band will be sharing their brand new book, Squirrel in a Tree!! Really, the park, the market, music, a book, and kids??? It doesn’t get any better! August 9th, during the Farmers’ Market, 3 pm.
Yay and Yay and YAAAAAAY!!!!
