Sciencetelling at the library!

Piccirillo Sciencetelling will entertain the kids with a scientific story time this coming Wednesday, July 8th! The program will be in the gym at 1PM. Please come and join the fun!

Sciencetelling uses science experiments to tell stories. With fun and exciting experiments performed right in front of the audience, they are able to bring the story to life. It is through the experiments that the audience is able to experience the sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings of the story.

This free program is part of our “Every Hero Has a Story” summer programs for the kids. There is a free program each Wednesday at 1PM for the kids. Children will also be awarded a prize each week if they read something and record their reading on the program web site-
