The Monroe Library is offering many fun events to those who live in Monroe from December 18th through the 22nd. Get those youngsters off the couch over winter break and off to learn something new at the library. The week starts off with Winter Science Extravaganza: MakeDo on December 18th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. This program is for all ages from 5 to 18 along with their caregivers. Participants will be able to explore engineering by building and creating with cardboard, tools, and other materials provided by the Sno-Isle Libraries Foundation. Another Winter Science Extravaganza happens the next day on the 19th from 10 a.m. until 11 a.m. This one is titled Cool Chemistry Concoctions and is geared toward preschool and school aged children. This program requires registration and will include many chemistry experiments such as revealing secret messages with chemistry, boiling liquids with your hands, putting out a candle with invisible gas, and much more.
Tweens have the chance to dive into science on December 20th from 2 p.m. until 3 p.m. with Ozobots. This event also requires pre registration and participants in grades 5th through 8th will be able to code mini robots by using paper and colored markers. The cool little Ozobots know which way to go by seeing color commands. Participants help them navigate through a maze.
A sweet holiday themed program happens in two parts on December 21st and 22nd. School aged children are invited to the library from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on the 21st and 2:00 pm. to 4:00 p.m. on the 22nd to participate in the Gingerbread House Build Challenge. All who live in Monroe are encouraged to register early for this event to get a spot. The first day, children will build the house. The next day, when the houses are dry and sturdy, they will be ready for candy decorations. Participants will be proud to display the houses over the holidays in their own homes. Find more information about all of these events as well as links to register at Monroe Public Library.
