SUMMER LIBRARY PROGRAM KICK-OFF SATURDAY, JUNE 4 |
|
Summer Library Program Kick-off Saturday - June 4 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Mobile Museum of Art 4850 Museum Drive
The Mobile Public Library and the Mobile Museum of Art invite all of our young readers and their families to the Kick-Off of the 2016 Summer Library Program at the beautiful Mobile Museum of Art. Participate in arts and crafts or challenge yourself to a game of Jeopardy in the Maisel Art Theater! Enjoy TomFoolery’s Juggling Extravaganza in the beautiful, spacious lobby; shows at 11 a.m. and noon. The Mobile Museum of Art will offer free admission to the beautiful galleries. The FREE, eight-week program, which runs from June 4 – July 30, features special guest performers, storytimes, movies, crafts, games and more at all Library locations. Children, who receive a MPL sports bottle, can sign up any time during the eight weeks and are encouraged to set reading goals for the summer. It is important because studies show children who do not read during the summer lose approximately three months’ worth of knowledge. Last year, more than 14,000 children participated in Mobile, making our program the largest in the state. Please visit our website, mobilepubliclibrary.org, for all the details on the fun activities planned at your favorite Library location! |
