Kids' Events Highlights
Ballet Celebration at Library
The Lincoln Public Library invites families to attend a special celebration marking the 50th anniversary of the State Ballet of Rhode Island. On Saturday, March 13th at 1:00 PM, families will be treated to several mini ballet performances based on characters from well-known storybooks. Children will even have a chance to take part in a dance! After the performances, there will be a question and answer session with the dancers. Participants will also have an opportunity to meet Artistic Director and Co-Founder of the State Ballet of Rhode Island, Herci Marsden. Ms. Marsden will be available to sign copies of her limited edition book of rare and never-before-seen images of her life in ballet. There is no registration for this program and all are welcome.
Take Time to Rhyme!
Are you a poet and don’t even know it? Here’s your chance to find out. In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Children’s Room will sponsor a poetry contest during the month of April. Children ages 12 and younger are asked to compose a poem about their all-time favorite book or author. Entries must be delivered to the Children’s Room by Friday, April 30th and should include the writer’s name, age, and phone number. E-mail entries may be sent to kimbalentine@lincolnlibrary.com. All children who submit a poem will receive a prize pen and sticker. The writer of the winning poem will receive a prize pack and his or her entry will be published in Books to Bytes, the Library’s newsletter.
