Summer Learning Celebration!
Local favorites Izzi Tooinsky and Shyhoopz Hula Hoops are among the highlights of Nevada County Library’s Summer Learning celebration from 1-3pm, Sat., July 29 at the Madelyn Helling Library. After the performances, stick around for free sno-cones during the hottest part of the day.
Find Your Voice! Summer Learning Program for Kids & Teens runs through August 11th
Our voices have power. We use our voices to share stories, express ourselves, and spark change. Our voices include not only the sounds we make, but the words we write, the art we create, the movements we perform, and the actions we take each day to impact our world. With this year’s Summer Learning theme, "Find Your Voice!", the library encourages participants to embrace reading and find inspiration for self-expression. It’s not too late to participate in Nevada County Library’s “Find Your Voice!” Summer Learning program. Stop by your local library to pick up a reading log or download the Beanstack app to participate digitally. This year’s program challenges kids and teens to read 15 minutes a day and complete activities that encourage creativity. Write a poem or a song, create your own dance move, build something, or write a letter to a local official as part of this year’s Summer Learning challenge.
