In last week’s column, we let you know what was going on with the children’s portion of summer reading. But the fun’s not limited just to the kiddies this summer. There’s plenty of fun stuff for the teens as well.
So what are we going to do? We’re going to find out what’s Beneath the Surface this summer. That’s the theme: Beneath the Surface. We’re going to take it figuratively and literally.
* We will kick things off with a movie on Wednesday, May 29 at 4 p.m. A scientist whose radical theories have completely tarnished his reputation goes backpacking across Iceland and finds a cave that leads him deep down into the bowels of the planet. He discovers a fantastic and dangerous lost world in the center of the earth filled with bizarre landscapes and terrifying creatures.
* It’s time to unleash some energy and join us for Zumba on Thursday, May 30 at 3 p.m. Zumba fuses fitness, entertainment and culture into an exhilarating dance-fitness sensation, blending upbeat world rhythms with easy-to-follow choreography, for a total-body workout that feels like a celebration!
* Join us as we explore wild and crazy hairstyles courtesy of the SCCC/ATS Cosmetology Department on Wednesday, June 5th at 1:30 p.m. Express your true self with a hairstyle that matches your personality. Maybe it’s big hair? Or perhaps a mohawk? How about a beehive? Learn about the out of control hairstyles through the years.
* Did you know that underground tunnels exist beneath us on Main Street? Find out more from Lidia Hook Gray on Tuesday, June 11 at 2 p.m. We’ll head underground, take a look at a local business and learn a little history about the buildings and tunnels that are connected to one another.
* Unleash your inner hero as we delve into the magical world of Dungeons and Dragons with Brad Kearn on Thursday, June 13 at 4 p.m. Learn about how you can guide your heroes through quests for treasure, battles with deadly foes, daring rescues, courtly intrigue, and much more. That’s Thursday, June 13 at 4 p.m. See you at the Library.
* Join us for Tai-Chi as we find serenity in motion on Wednesday, June 19 at 4 p.m. Terri Barnes introduces us to the art of Tai Chi. She will help us meditate through movement as we connect our mind and body through gentle activity. That’s Wednesday, June 19 at 4 p.m. See you at the Library!
* We’ll take a look at Mermaid Art on Thursday, June 20 at 4 p.m. Susan Copas leads us through a wondrous art adventure with the mystical and magical creatures known as mermaids. In the end, you’ll have created your own mermaid masterpiece. That’s Thursday, June 20 at 4 p.m. See you at the Library!
* Join us for yoga as we find self-awareness and inner peace on Wednesday, June 26 at 4 p.m. Alli Lyon introduces us to yoga, which is more than stretching exercises. It is also about creating balance in the body through the development of both strength and flexibility. Relax and find your spiritual self. See you at the Library!
And remember, it’s more than just books for young adults (and everyone else) during the summer reading program.
