Children will enjoy making their own seed balls this week at the Library! This will be an outdoor activity, weather permitting, involving bundles of seeds, clay, and soil.

Garyville: Monday, June 8 at 1:30 PM
LaPlace: Tuesday, June 9 at 1:30 PM
Reserve: Wednesday, June 10 at 1:30 PM

Although seed balls have been around since ancient times, they were rediscovered in the 1930s during the Guerilla Gardening movement. They are used as a way to revegetate areas burned by wildfires and can also be used on a small scale to add flowers to your garden!

Tomorrow, June 8th in Reserve:

Sensory play with tactile materials is a fun way to help young children practice fine motor skills, foster creativity, and explore the world through their senses. These experiences build nerve connections that help the brain develop through infancy and early childhood. Join Caring Strategies Director / licensed occupational therapist Diane Robichaux for a morning of garden-themed sensory play at the Reserve Branch in honor of this year's Summer Reading theme, "Plant a Seed, Read!"

Next Saturday!

Get ready for a Jurassic experience at the Library! The Dinosaur Experience will bring a trained T-Rex and more for some prehistoric entertainment. These dinosaurs are specially trained to reduce any fears little ones may have (although adults are fair game).
