Knock, Knock, Who’s There…Fall!
Did somebody say fall! There’s no denying it – the days are getting colder. Beat the chill and head to Downsview branch with your kids for some exciting steel pan music!
This fall we are fortunate to have Joy Lapps as our Artist-in-Residence. Joy (a.k.a. the “Princess of Pan”) is a musician, composer and arts educator who is conducting programs at Downsview from September to December. Space is still available in both the Children’s Steelband program and the Youth Steelband.
The Children’s Steelband is for children aged 10-13 and runs every Saturday until December 6 from 10-11 a.m. Registration is required. Call 416-395-5720 or email dokids@torontopubliclibrary.ca
The Youth Steelband covers ages 14-25 on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:45 to 5:45 p.m. until December 10 and has a few spaces left! Again, please register.
If that’s not enough to warm your insides, bring your creative writers aged 8-12 out to our Sophie’s Studio program called ‘Creative Fiction From What You Know’ every Saturday from October 18 to November 8 from 2-3:30 p.m.
Join children’s author Dirk McLean and use your experiences and imagination to write an awesome book! Registration is required.
Sophie’s Studio programs were created to support early literacy, creativity and writing skills in children thanks to a bequest from long-time library lover and user Sophia Lucyk.
So pull on that snuggly sweater and join us at Downsview Library for some fun!
