Programs for Kids in November

In November we have two fun programs just for kids!

Monday, November 16, join us at 7:00pm for Mad Science: Up, Up, and Away!
This show displays the incredible pressure we all live under- air pressure! Mandeburg spheres, indoor hot air balloons, giant vortex generators, the “Mad Science Jet Engine” and the “Mad Science Hovercraft” are all used to demonstrate the amazing effects of air pressure. This is one of our most popular programs, so come early for a good seat! Ages 4-12.

Monday, November 23 we welcome History Alive! (7:00pm) You won’t forget your “Night in the Library” when the history of the pilgrims comes alive through costume, story, dance, games, crafts and food. You’ll discover there is more to Thanksgiving than eating turkey! School age.

Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga is a physically oriented technique that uses a blend of playful, empowering and otherwise “tension-releasing” simple laughter exercises. With gentle yoga breathing and stretching exercises, rhythmic clapping and chanting of Ho Ho Ha Ha Ha in unison, a simulated laughter turns into real laughter. Laughter Yoga is done as a way to increase well-being and promote peace in the world through personal transformation. It is non-religious, non-sectarian, and non-political.
For teens & adults. Saturday, November 14 at 12:00pm.

KUED Reading Marathon
