Calling all creative engineers!  Work in a team of kids to follow instructions, build a real automated robot, and test it out for functionality. Add your own creative details. Build collaborative, critical thinking, and crucial STEM skills. Help build a robot that will be on display at the library for the rest of the summer!

‘BUILD A MAGIC CARPET’ (*Register grades K-5) BUILD A BETTER WORLD with a MAGIC CARPET on Monday, June 26, from 6:30-7:30 PM.

Dhurrie Rugs or Magic Carpets! They've been made for many centuries. We will use bright colors of paper and yarn. Royal families would use Dhurri rugs to decorate the floors of their palaces. You need one of your very own. Make it a brighter world and brighten your room all at the same time! 

‘SUMMER CONCERT SERIES: STONEY’S WICKED DIN’ This amazing concert will take place in the courtyard on Thursday, June 29th, starting at 6:30 PM. Stoney's Wicked Din (also known as ‘The Din’) is a 10-piece 'small big band', led by drummer/arranger Al Stone, and featuring unique and versatile vocalist Steve Faria. They play an unusual variety of jazz, swing, soul, blues, r&b, latin, and much more. Some of their music influences include: Ray Charles, Basie, Ellington, Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Aretha, Dr. John, Santana, Hector Lavoe, and Jobim. Stoney's Wicked Din pride themselves in being difficult to categorize.

Bring a blanket, lawn chair and enjoy the music!
