The circus is coming to town – on the Library lawn – as the 100th birthday celebration continues. Children of all ages can enjoy circus performers, performer workshops, and more. The cotton candy comes courtesy of the office of New York State Assemblywoman Michaelle Solanges, who represents the 22nd Assembly District, which includes Floral Park.
Adult programs this month include: From Thought to Action: Bring Your Short Story to Life; Monday’s Movie Matinee “Tar;” Communicate with Confidence hosted by the Elmer A. Sperry Toastmasters organization of New Hyde Park; and a Belmont Stakes-ready Make Your Own Fashionable Fascinator with P[art]y Art.
Floral Park Library’s Urban Explorers visited Brooklyn’s national historical landmark that is Green-Wood Cemetery in May. The trip was followed up with lunch before the return to Floral Park. June will find the Explorers uptown at the Morris-Jumel mansion, the oldest surviving residence in New York City.
For the kiddos, there’s an Environmental Awareness program; 2-session blueberry scones making with Chefs of d’Future, Pre-K thru Grade 2 Storycraft; Play Hooray; Funkytown Playground (ages 2.5 – pre-school); and Baby Start and Family Pre-school Hour with A Time for Kids. The Pom Pom Queen helps the little ones make a Father’s Day gift, and a to-be-announced-project for children in grades 3 – 5.
We keep it light for Teens in June so they can focus on end-of-year school activities and events. Since they like their food and their art, there’s a Teen/Tween P[art]Y Art event and a Quesadilla program with Chefs of d’Future.
