Dia De Los Ninos at the Library

In Mexico, Día De Los Niños, Day of the Child, is celebrated on April 30. This day recognizes children and their importance to society. The festivities include games, music, gifts, raffles, exhibits, scientific demonstrations, workshops and a parade. Candy and balloons are handed out everywhere by magicians, mimes, clowns, and puppeteers.

The Garden City Library is also taking part in celebrating Dia De Los Ninos on April 30th from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. There will be dancers, music, pinata and flower crafts, games, food, and more!

A New Face At GCPL

Hey Guys! My name is Jordan, and I'll be your new Teen Programs Assistant at GCPL. I'm so excited to get to know everyone and I'm positive we're gonna have a blast.

I'm super into artsy stuff like theatre and music, and I look forward to bringing that into our teen programs this upcoming summer. As some of you know, the theme is Express Yourself, so this is a good time to get those creative juices flowing! I'll be doing some workshops involving the theatre arts and letting that inner child-like enthusiasm out when it comes to "play" and ideas. It will be so much fun to play some improv games and let out all that energy from being cooped up inside all winter!

I'm up for the YAAC meeting on Tuesday, the 21st of April [same time, same place]. So I'll bring the pizza if you guys bring the fabulous ideas and any questions you may have for me...fair trade? :]

If you want to say "Hi" to Gen, go ahead and I'll let her know for ya!

See you all soon,
Jordan
