South River Library events

Storybook Art
Monday, July 27 7:00pm-7:45pm
Go back to Grandma’s time when Don Freeman first introduced Corduroy, the bear, to young readers. Generations later, Corduroy is still endearing to children searching for a story and a good friend. Learn to make corduroy prints to dress Freeman’s famous bear. Elmer the Elephant is a patchwork pachyderm whose playful, polite personality has made him very popular with kids. Create your own paper patchwork parade in the style of illustrator, David McKee. It Looked Like Spilt Milk, but it wasn’t. Charles G. Shaw’s fluffy white illustrations let imaginations wonder as clever, creative shapes leave readers guessing what the pictures really are. Participants will continue the story with additional text and complementary cool shaving cream clouds. Ages 4-5 - Limited to 16 Participants

Bow Wow Pow Wow: Read to Bowie
Tuesday, July 28 at 7:00pm-8:00pm
Children practice reading aloud to Bowie, the certified therapy dog...he happily sits, listens, and wags his tail, offering positive encouragement. Proud owner, Inga Hooper, remains by his side. Bring your own stories to read or select one from the library. Each individual will have approximately 10 minutes to read to Bowie. All Ages
