Preschoolers ages 3 - 6 and an adult are invited to experiment with words, syllables and articulation to create their own patterns of sounds. They'll learn about rhythm, patterns and rhymes and sing songs. This program will be led by Arts for Learning teaching artist Lawrence Clark III.
Registration is required for each child. Parents and caregivers need not register themselves.
What was known as the Shelby Branch began in 1918 when the library was housed in old School No. 34. A new branch was constructed in 1965 at the current Shelby Street location. Following a major renovation, the branch reopened in 2011 as the Garfield Park Branch, reflecting the desire of residents to refer to the branch by their beloved and adjacent Garfield Park.
