Discover What’s Happening at Your Library This Summer
St. Paul Public Library is the perfect summer break destination for kids, teens and their families to explore, create and connect. From June 1 to August 31, Summer Spark, the Library’s summer learning and reading program, offers a wide range of free activities designed to keep youth engaged and inspired all summer long.
Kids and teens can get started by visiting any library location to pick up their own Summer Spark Reading and Activity Log—plus a free book to keep. Readers can track their progress all summer long as they read and complete fun learning activities. Teens can also earn entries into prize drawings—the more they read, the more chances they have to win!
Mark your calendars for the Ragamala Dance performance on Tuesday, June 3 from 3:00–4:00 p.m. at West 7th Library. Learn about the South Indian classical dance, try out some of the intricate hand gestures of Bharatanatyam, and learn how to tell silent stories with your hands.
On Tuesday, June 17, West 7th Library is hosting Flamenco Music & Dance with dancer Sachiko “La Chayí.” Discover the vibrant world of Flamenco from Andalusia, Spain—a rich cultural fusion of dance, music and history. Enjoy the colorful rhythms and music, expressive movement and fascinating stories behind this powerful art form. This program is recommended for kids and families of all ages.
