Ages 0–15: Slip and slide into Summer Reading with the best party ever—a foam party! Play in the blast from the Foam Homies’ foam cannon, toss around beach balls, and dance to the music. Before the party ends, sign up for the 2022 Summer Reading Program and select a free book to take home. Please wear comfortable, quick-drying clothes; foam is hypo-allergenic and dye-free.
Ages 16 & Up: Ocean water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface and plays an important role in maintaining the global environment—from absorbing excess heat to safely storing carbon dioxide. However, ocean temperatures, currents, and sea levels are being drastically altered as the climate changes. Dr. James Brinson, Associate Professor of Ecology and the Environmental Science Program Coordinator at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, will discuss the impact of these changes on critical marine ecosystems, local communities, and global systems which effect everyone’s lives.
Ages 13 & Up: In Kevin Costner’s 1995 cult classic Waterworld, “Dryland” is little more than a myth from the distant past, as the globe is covered by an endless ocean and surviving humans live on floating atolls. But when the Mariner, a solitary trader, stumbles upon a girl who is supposed to have a map to Dryland etched on her back, he is drawn into the struggle to keep her safe from a group of desperate pirates. Rated PG-13.
Ages 5-11: Raise the mizzenmast and set sail with the pirates of old. Travel the high seas with Jack and Annie in Pirates Past Noon by Mary Pope Osborne before you and your child try your hands at building a pirate ship and more at each storytime. You’ll even receive your own copy of Pirates Past Noon so that your family can relive your adventure at home! Please plan to attend to all four programs.
