Pint-Size Polkas: Oktoberfest Celebration

Mike Schneider helps celebrate Oktoberfest traditions! Learn a little bit of the German language, how to do the "Chicken Dance" - the official dance of Oktoberfest, and even how to yodel! Plus, get a quick tutorial on the accordion and the history of polka music. One lucky adult volunteer will even have the opportunity to make water magically disappear from a German stein! Age-appropriate trivia questions, numerous volunteer opportunities and sing-alongs, and a special Pint Size Polkas edition of "Name That Tune" round out this exciting musical program that's fun for all ages!

Dragon Dance with Zhong Yi Kung Fu Association

As part of the 2024 Winter Reading Program: Ignite Your Imagination, members from Zhong Yi Kung Fu Association will discuss and perform a dragon dance. They will begin with a discussion about the history of the dragon dance and end by performing the dance through the library stacks. This is also a great way to learn about the Year of the Dragon and get ready for the Lunar New Year on February 10.
