SRP Program - Science Lab: Sink or Float Science Lab

Our youth librarian and assistant manager, Jayla Parks, found an idea for this awesome program on Pinterest and decided to lead this awesome program. Kids got to learn all about the science behind why things sink and why they float. Kids did a little activity testing out different materials and they had to guess whether it would sink or float. Finally, the little ones built their own "boats" out of aluminum foil, paper, craft sticks, and pipe cleaners! They then tested out their "boats" to make sure they could stay afloat with a "passenger" (a plastic dinosaur) in tow! All in all about 30 kids come for this program. 

The room was pretty packed for this program

Lovin' that canopy. 

We had some really creative boat making going on

SRP Program - ABC Bodyart: Henna Workshop

Teens and tweens (and some kids too) got to learn all about the art and history behind Henna. The instructor let the kids mix their own henna and they even got to make their own bag and keep them for future use! We had about 13 kids come
