Summer fun and learning for kids in New Rochelle

The New Rochelle Public Library and the Huguenot Children’s Library have planned many enrichment programs for kids during the summer months.

For elementary school-aged children, there will be workshops, live performance, and films that seek to offer educational experiences in a fun way. Some of the programs include Adventure in Gardening, Balloon Bonanza Workshops, Bricks 4 Kidz Workshops, and the Mexican Dance Classes with Calpulli Mexican Dance Company.

On Wednesday afternoons at 2:00 pm, films of adventures alternating with live science shows at the Ossie Davis Theater. On July 8, there will be ‘The Lego Movie’, and ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ follows on July 22.

A number of live science presentations take place on July 15, followed by Nature Adventures in Your Own Backyard with Sheldrake Environmental Center on July 29.

Beginning June 29 and running from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Mondays through Fridays, the Huguenot Children’s Library will host a drop-in program where children can participate in arts and crafts, ping pong, and many other outside activities supervised by experienced teenagers and adults.

All these programs are free and made possible by the Partnership for the Huguenot Children’s Library and the Friends of the New Rochelle Public Library.

Flyer printing is one way that these organizations can disseminate more information about the programs and generate enthusiasm for them in the community.
