Live Shows for Owl Club Readers
Any child who has read at least 20 minutes may sign up for the following shows. Attendance is limited to children in grades 1-6 in the 2012 Summer Reading Club.
Monday, July 9 at 7:00 pm - Turtle Back Zoo
Vince Sharp from the Turtle Back Zoo will come to the library to introduce us to some small mammals, birds and reptiles that will inspire us to understand, appreciate, and protect the fragile interdependence of all living things. Come and learn about local wildlife and some seldom seen backyard neighbors!
Monday, July 16 at 7:00 pm - Wondergy
Come check out our CoolScience program, a hands-on exploration of how matter changes at extreme temperatures. In order to explore how we stay cool during summer, you will see things explode, contract, and suddenly disappear in a puff of fog. While this may look like magic, there are no tricks at all! A great way to 'freeze' the science in your mind is to help us bring together fresh cream, milk, flavorings of your choice, and of course, liquid nitrogen to make the freshest homemade ice cream.
Monday, July 23 at 7:00 pm - Astronomy
New Jersey Astronomical Association President Steve Gale will talk about the moon, where it came from and what it might have looked like billions of years ago. Weather permitting, the talk will be followed by viewing the moon close up through one or more telescopes. Rain date 7/25/2012.
Monday, July 30 at 7:00 pm - Dreams, Books & Magic
Join Steve, Henry the Magic Rabbit, and Professor Hoot the Owl as they bring magical stories to life at your library this summer!!
