Do you enjoy reading? Starting this May, the Fall River Public Library will be hosting a brand-new book club for children in grades 3-5! Come prepared to talk about a book you have read, what you liked and what you disliked!
Every two weeks, join the library and several community partners for our community resource day! Organizations will be on hand to provide information and assistance for various community needs such as healthcare, homelessness, immigration, mental health issues, food insecurity, and more. This event is open to all members of the public and no registration is required.
Life in the Sea plunges children into the depths of ocean life. Children explore different ocean ecosystems and learn about the plants and animals that live there. Classifying creatures from sharks to sponges gives them a taste of ocean diversity. In Whales to Scale, they compare shark and whale teeth, and measure the size of these incredible predators. Hands-on activities teach the interconnectedness of an ocean food web, and the consequences of overfishing. The Anaglyph Sea Puzzle Take-Home lets children take some 3-D sea creatures home with them. Space is limited; call the children's room to register.
Both returning and new members are invited to join us on the third Wednesday of each month for a different kind of book club--one with no required books to read! Instead, everyone can share their own recommendations of a book they're enjoyed recently as we meet for general book chat and afternoon tea. Light refreshments will be served. Bring your favorite teacup (if you want) and a book or two to share! For questions, contact Betsy Washburn at 508-324-2700 ext. 3.
