Silver City –We are officially back to school and that means fall programming at the Silver City Public Library. We are excited to offer year around programming and have a lot of fun things to offer you.
The Summer Reading Program is made possible by the Friends of the Library.
Let jump right in. We have most of our programming on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. First, we have kits from the State Library. On September 1 at 4pm, we have Architect’s Delight. Learn what goes into designing buildings. The kit shows you how to create a building by planning out and then making a prototype.
On Sept. 5 at 4pm, we have Art Bots. Use technology to create art. You will use circuits to create a robot that will draw with or for you.
Saturday, Sept. 9 is Future Engineers at 1pm. Do you like playing with LEGO? Then you could be a future engineer. Learn how to create and be imaginative. Come play with LEGO. 
Next, is the first of two movies. We will be watching The Secret of Nimh on September 12 at 4pm. The movie is about a mouse who has to go on a great adventure to save her kid. This movie is about the power of family and good vs evil. There will be popcorn.
Candy Sushi is back on Sept. 14 at 4pm. This will be happening at Penny Park. Create a fake sushi roll with Rice Krispies, Swedish Fish, Tootsie Rolls and more! The Rice Krispy is your base but the rest is up to you!
The Community Partnership for Children will hold a Color Run on September 16 at 10 am. This iinvolves different distances for ages to run while playing with color paint powder. The Silver City Public Library will have a quiet corner where we will be doing a story time and a craft. The run is a fundraiser to support children’s health and education in Grant County. This is a fun day with the family to run around and play.
