Program description: Creativity Rocks at the Library, will help your young readers discover the creativity and excitement waiting for them in books. Children love pretending to be someone else in their world of “Make-Believe”. Today, they’re a back yard explorer dreaming to discover something new. Tomorrow they crawl out of a cardboard space ship as an astronaut traveling to a far away planet. The time has never been so right for young minds to learn about all the wonderful opportunities at the library. During the performance, they’ll participate in an outer space adventure, learn how to save money and watch a drawing from an art class come to life. They’ll experience an unusual cooking lesson with a “borrowed” shoe, learn about becoming a magical artist, play a wild game with some very tricky rabbits and much more! Everyone will be talking about this entertaining program as they remember the clever ideas for creative discovery with books. The show can be used as the flagship event to kick-off your summer reading program or as an end-of-summer celebration to reward your young readers for their hard work.
