On Thursday, July 3, local actor and director Andy Matz will hold a theater workshop for the Discovery Days group at 2 p.m. in the library’s Community Room. Students entering Grades K through Five will learn the basics of acting in the theatre, including the skill of speaking clearly and projecting your voice.
Students will also learn and play several fun theatre games! Be sure to register for this program 24 hours in advance.
As a reminder, the library will be closed on Friday, July 4, and Saturday, July 5. However, the library can still be part of your Fourth of July festivities. Join library staff and volunteers at the future library location (1700 Land’s End Drive) to view the fireworks from a prime location! Parking lots will open at 4 p.m., with the cost for parking at $5 per car, with all proceeds to benefit library renovation and relocation. A separate “tailgate lot” will be available for $10 per car. The lots are a quick walk away from Nishan Park and the bands, food and other fun planned for Freedom Fest. You can also join us on the future library patio from 6 to 9 p.m. for music by local artist Erich Mobley, or set up your chair on the future library lawn to watch the fireworks show at dusk (around 9:15 p.m.). Please note, for safety, no fireworks are permitted in the lots or viewing areas.
