Library Events for the Week of August 21
Water Utilities Department Storytime at Godeke Branch Library
Monday, August 21
12:30 to 1:00 PM
Join the Water Utilities Department at the Godeke Branch Library, 5034 Frankford Avenue, for storytime and a fun activity. Storytime will begin with the reading of “Water Up, Down, and All Around” by Natalie M. Rosinsky. The book discusses how water is everywhere on our planet and how it is cycled throughout the Earth. A fun hands-on learning activity will follow to encourage creativity and learning. Attendees will create a water cycle inside a clear bag to view the water cycle as it happens, have time for water sensory play, and leave home with free items to continue their water learning experience. Recommended for ages 1-5 but all are welcome. For more information, call 806-775-3362.
