\"\"<\/a>\u201cThe Wild and Wonderful Readers\u201d junior book club will hold their next meeting on Tuesday, July 11th<\/sup>at 3:30 pm in the Cazenovia Public Library Story Garden Room. The session will combine book discussion, games, and hands-on creative activities. The group will discuss the 2014 Newbery Honor winner, Doll Bones <\/em>by Holly Black.<\/p>\n

Lifelong friends Zach, Poppy, and Alice have played a continuous game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors for most of their childhood. Central to the game is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll who curses those who displease her. Now in middle school, the group has split up and stopped playing the game. One day, Poppy reveals that she has been having dreams about the Queen and a ghost who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave. Zach, Alice, and Poppy set out on one last adventure to lay the ghost to rest.<\/p>\n

The junior book club is open to children ages 9-12. Books are available at the circulation desk.<\/p>\n

All events at the Cazenovia Public Library are free and open to the public. For more information, call 315-655-9322<\/a> or visit www.cazenoviapubliclibrary.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

July Explorer Days at the Cazenovia Public Library<\/strong><\/p>\n

This July, children ages 6-10 are invited to join Ms. Jenna in the Community Room for the first three installments of the Summer Explorer Days program series. The programs will be held Wednesday, July 12th<\/sup>, 19th<\/sup>, and 26th<\/sup> at 1:30 pm<\/span>. Each wonderful session is filled with fun and educational activities designed to keep children\u2019s minds and bodies active all summer long.<\/p>\n

In the first workshop, \u201cRube Goldberg Machines,\u201d participants will create silly chain-reaction contraptions inspired by artist Rube Goldberg. The workshop will begin with an introduction to Goldberg and his mechanized creations (e.g., the self-operating napkin). Participants will then work in groups to construct their own contraptions to perform simple tasks.<\/p>\n

The second program, \u201cExtra! Extra! Newspaper Fashion\u201d will provide children with the opportunity to learn about fashion design, create their own custom newsprint designs, and show off their looks on the red carpet.<\/p>\n

\u201cColor-Rama\u201d will be an explosion of color on the Library\u2019s front lawn! The third Explorer Day of the season will include art projects, science experiments, and tie dying. Please dress to get messy.<\/p>\n

All supplies will be provided. Registration is requested. Stop by the Library or call 315-655-9322<\/a> to reserve a spot.<\/p>\n

Play games, read books, and explore art and science all summer long at the Library! Mark your calendar for the August Explorer Days:<\/p>\n
