misc_none 10:30 AM  -  11:15 AM Charlie Hope Music Concert for Preschoolers   Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    Enjoy an interactive musical concert for preschoolers.

Charlie Hope spent her childhood in Toronto and Boston harmonizing with her sister and in her school choirs. As she grew she discovered the joys of writing music as well, and it became a powerful outlet for her to express her feelings. For Charlie, music should empower not only the creator, but also the listener.

Her fresh approach to children's music stems from the many years she has spent with children - from receiving her degree in Art Therapy with Children to the preschools and private homes she has served. From all her experiences Charlie believes that music is vital to a child's well-being.

misc_none 4:00 PM  -  5:00 PM Magic Tree House Book Club for ages 5-9   Download Event Info Tell a Friend
    At each program we’ll read part of a Magic Tree House Book, and then we’ll explore its’ companion research guide.

The eighth book in the series is Sunset of the Sabertooth. Join us in enjoying this imaginative series by Mary Pope Osborne.

You don’t have to read the book before you come, but if you do, that's fine.

During the program I’ll read a portion of the book to you, and then we'll explore the research guide for that book. We’ll end with a craft.

Registration is required and begins on Monday, June 10.

The book club will take place once a month on a Monday, from 4:00-5:00 pm. Hope to see you there!
