Children’s Programs At Booth Library

C.H. Booth Library has a few programs planned during the next few weeks that are especially geared toward its younger visitors.

The Serendipity Players of Sabrina’s Encore Productions will offer their unique interpretation of Midsummer Night’s Dream, with an original score, Sunday, February 10, at 2 pm, in the library’s meeting room.

The performance is recommended for ages 5 and up and it part of the library’s ongoing Searching for Shakespeare series, which has been looking at different titles by The Bard since November.

The adult programs this month have been looking at King Lear, but this program will offer its own introduction to young readers to one of Shakespeare’s most popular works for the stage.

The romantic comedy was written sometime during the 1590s. It portrays the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, their interactions with the Duke and Duchess of Athens, Theseus and Hippoluyta, and with fairies who inhabit a moonlit forest. The play is regularly performed around the world.

Then on Friday, February 22 (Washington’s Birthday), Newtown resident Karen Pierce will offer a yoga demo class at 10 am.

Kids and teens can be pretty stressed out and over-stimulated. Young people can benefit from yoga. While strengthening and stretching they can also develop concentration, focus and body awareness, and just feel good!

Ms Pierce, who is a yoga instructor and the author of  YogaBear: Yoga for Youngsters, invites children ages 4 to 7 to join her for a little bit of unplugged time.

For additional information about either of these programs, or offerings for all ages, call the library at 426-4533 or visit CHBoothLibrary.org. The Children’s Department also has a direct line, and can be reached at 426-3851.
