Ahoy, Mates! Set sail with Whiting Library to explore a big wide ocean of new possibilities! We’re celebrating creative imagination, pretend play and make believe all summer long! At this special weekend family event, the audience is encouraged to feel like royalty and dress up in their favorite make believe costume for this inventive and theatrical story hour. Book Readers will captivate audience members of all ages as they share stories focused on individuality, creativity, self-expression, and self-responsibility. In addition to singing songs and reading books, visit Whiting Library’s very own magical Face Painting Fairy to try some fresh body art plus there will be supplies on hand for everyone to create their own paper crown! Every child has a little royal highness in them, and this story time will help keep their little heads held high!
This simple pretend play dress up party will make dreams come true for children of all ages. Everyone is invited to transform into their favorite real superstar or book character for this outrageously fun dress-up party. Capture the imagination and play of the magic of childhood while serving kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly fabulous role models. In story hours like this, kids are able to imagine people who defy rigid social restrictions and make believe in a world where people can present as they wish, where dress up is real.
It’s Library Shelfie Day! Pose for a shelfie at your library to celebrate! Don’t forget to tag us! Having fun isn’t hard when you have a library card! Don’t have a library card? Stop in today to get one. Sign up for Whiting Library’s Summer Reading Challenge, too!
