Each Monday, Curio412 will be highlighting good news of service and innovation in our communities both near and far!
Today we are featuring the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall who is alleviating stress on families by providing opportunities for kids to learn and grow safely.
During Covid, the library has been creating opportunities for families and children continue to grow, learn, create and have fun such as an outdoor Sidewalk Obstacle Course and Grab-and-Go Craft Kits.
The obstacle course designed by Children's Librarian JoLynne Dougherty, has activities like hopscotch boards, areas to spin in, lines to follow, yelling out your favorite book, and making animal sounds. Kids responded to the obstacle course in a BIG way. Rather than being on a screen kids are able to get up, get moving, and have fun. Bring your family and check it out! Grab-and-Go kits have met similar enthusiasm. Kits include most supplies to meet the needs of parents trying to juggle busy schedules. The library utilizes process and STEAM-related crafts to develop fine motor skills and inspire curiosity.
