Join us for a special edition of our weekly book celebration, focused on picture books from Japan and restoring paper lanterns which will be then floated on Nashawannuck Pond on the evening of August 9th in commemoration of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This program is geared towards elementary school ages. Registration is encouraged; sign up at the library in person or by calling us at 413-527-1031 or emailing us at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.
Join children and families who have decorated lanterns and walk with them and the nuns and monks from the NE Peace Pagoda to Nashawannuck Pond where the lanterns will be drawn out across the pond in the traditional ceremony. We will gather at the library at 5:30, where there will be ice cream for children, and then walk together to the pond for the lantern launch which will start at 6pm.
Come relax with friends and BINGO at the end of the school week! Ages 3+
Come make a dinosaur or unicorn or jewelry or anything else your heart desires out of cardboard! This process-oriented program will get us all thinking about design and construction. Registration is recommended–stop by the library, give us a call at 413-0527-1031, or send us an email at youthdept@ewmlibrary.org.
