“Teen Movie Night” at the library is fun and free. Invite all your friends (register them and yourself) for a night out on Wednesday, February 23, starting at 6:30pm. Your friends do not have to be Atkinson residents. We'll be showing 'It's Kind of Funny Story' and making you popcorn. Please bring your own movie candy and clear beverages. This is for teens and tweens in grades 6 and up, please.
Ever wonder how magic tricks really work? This program investigates the science behind the 'magic' of several classic magic tricks. You might learn how to snatch a tablecloth without disturbing the items on top, make a balloon fireproof, and use electromagnetism to defy gravity. For the grand finale, our educator will demonstrate how science can make it safe to lie down on a real bed of nails! This program is on Thursday, February 24, from 6:30-7:30pm and is suitable for elementary age children 6+.
Scratch is back on Tuesdays in March from 6:30-7:30pm. Scratch, computer programming software created by MIT, is a fun and easy way for young animators to design and learn to animate! Using 'script blocks', which is the code to make your game animate, and 'Sprites', which are your characters, you can create ANYTHING with this awesome, cool software! Registration is required for ages 10 and up. Please sign up individually for each session you'd like to attend.
