Welcome to History Makers, where we believe that learning about the past helps you create a better future! Each month, we focus on a new History Maker from the past, learning about their achievements through a picture-book biography read-aloud. We have a brief discussion about what we can take away from their story and then do a craft or activity based around that person’s life! At the end of each program, each child receives a History Makers take-home packet with facts & activities about the person’s life!
This month we will be learning about the artist Keith Haring, reading the biography Drawing on Walls by Matthew Burgess, and flexing our own creative muscles with a drawing craft.
This program is aimed at children ages 5 to 8, though family members are welcome to sit in or remain on the youth floor for the duration of the program. We ask that you register to make sure we have enough craft supplies for all of our makers!
This program is designed for children to participate on their own; however, accompanying adults are asked to remain in the library for the duration of the program.
