Early childhood educators are invited for a full day of fun and learning with the Ooey Gooey Lady, nationally renowned early childhood specialist Lisa Murphy. This program is made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
This free experience, to be held in Central Library's Clowes Auditorium, will feature three workshops: "Fizzle Bubble Pop and Wow! Simple Science for Young Children;" "10 Little Hot Dogs Fryin' in the What?! Fingerplay Songs & Chants for Transition Time, Circle Time or Any Time;" and "The Importance of Early Experiences: How Playing IS Kindergarten Readiness."
As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
