“It’s a Reading PAW-ty” Gus, the YES therapy dog, brought two more of his furry friends to Youngsville Library’s “Barks & Books” (aka Read to a dog) program on Tuesday. Left to right is Eisenhower Therapy Dog Wags, with handler Kari Rouse, Gus, with handler Laura Bierbower, and WAEC therapy dog Pepper, with handler Cayla Leichtenberger. Kids had the opportunity to read to the dogs as well as learn facts about therapy dogs and other therapy animals like therapy pigs! Kids also left with free summer snacks and some dog-themed goodies too.
“Can’t burst our bubbles @ YPL”: On Wednesday, kids had the opportunity to attend Youngsville Library’s STEM-ulating Stories program to learn about surface tension, displacement, chemical bonds, why high humidity days are best for bubble making, and more via bubbles both small and large (as pictured). Kids also had the opportunity to create and experiment by making their own bubble wands with various objects, such as pipe cleaners, straws, and string. At the end of the program, kids were able to take some bubble solution home with them as well as free summer snacks and a worksheet to reflect on their bubble experience. This was the last STEM-ulating Stories program for the summer.
“YPL Storytime @ WCFair”: Stories, songs, snacks & silliness – all spell F-U-N on Tuesday, August 6th at the WCFair when Youngsville Library performs their Annual WCF “Story Time Day.” The location is the Gazebo near the Cornplanter building/KeyBank Pavilion at 11:00 am. This is a FREE program that offers fun family entertainment for all ages. Be prepared to enjoy some interactive -and corny- fun! Shown is Library Director Kristy Wallace and others demonstrating their best and scariest spider-stance during last year’s program. Kids who attend will receive the following for free: snacks, goody bag filled with color pages, grab-bag items, and more. Hope to see you at the Fair on the 6th.
