Starting Monday June 7th at 2:30-4:30pm the Woonsocket Library will have a kids craft table where you can not only make a craft.  There will be crafts with glue, paint, tissue paper. Many will be messy all will be fun. Each time you visit there will be different crafts to make and take. 

 

 

Once you make a craft with us, sign up for our other great programs still to be announced, including our Summer Reading Challenge.

 

 

Starting Friday June 11th at 11am we will have our little kids music concert series every Friday. Great for ages 7 & under with adult.

You and your little one will sing along, tap your toes,  clap your hands get up & dance to the beat of the music. From classic children’s songs to new classics, you and your preschooler will have a great time. The music continues all summer long with our last concert on August 27th.

 

 

Both programs are rain or shine. We want to do as many programs outside as possible. If the weather is poor we will go indoors. 

 

Because these programs are for young children and their families, Covid guidelines for 3ft social distancing between non-family groups at children's programs will apply, as will guidelines requesting non-vaccinated persons to wear masks.

Former President Trump is back in a New York City court for his criminal hush money trial. Jurors are once again hearing testimony from former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker who gave details this week on how he protected Trump from negative stories leading up to the 2016 presidential election. This comes as the judge in the case said he'll consider four other Trump gag order violations being alleged by the prosecution.       Protests over the Gaza war have seen hundreds of people across the U.S. arrested. Anti-Israel protests have sprung up across the country since the NYPD arrested over 100 demonstrators at Columbia University on April 18th. The New York Times says since then, protesting students have been setting up tents at campuses across the country, and over 400 protesters have been arrested for refusing to disperse.       TikTok's parent company reportedly would rather shut it down than sell it. According to "The Guardian," sources at ByteDance say the algorithms that the social media app relies on are considered too important to the company's overall operations, which would make a sale of the app with its algorithms "highly unlikely." The sources say a U.S. shutdown of TikTok would have limited impact on ByteDance's business.       Inflation is still on the rise according to a new economic report. The Commerce Department says personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy rose two-point-eight-percent from March 2023 to March 2024. When food and energy are included, the increase was two-point-seven-percent.        The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into a Tesla recall. Tesla issued a recall in December of more than two-million vehicles due to issues with Autopilot, which according to Tesla's website, can provide "full self-driving capability." The recall was to install new Autopilot safeguards, but the agency says crashes involving Tesla models have happened since the safeguards were installed.        The second and third rounds of the NFL Draft will take place tonight. Last night saw a record 23 offensive players were taken in the first round. The Chicago Bears kicked off the night by selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.
