Rowan Public Library
Have you ever taken a sip of water and wondered where it came from? Come find out this week at the Rowan Public Library’s Summer Reading Big Show event, “Follow a Raindrop’s Path,” presented by the Rowan Soil and Conservation District. This program is set to be outdoors at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. at RPL Headquarters (Salisbury) on Monday, July 11; RPL South (China Grove) on Tuesday, July 12; RPL East (Rockwell) on Wednesday, July 13; and RPL West (Cleveland) on Thursday, July 14.
In “Follow a Raindrop’s Path,” follow the journey of a single raindrop from a mountain stream to the ocean. While following its path, learn how the sun impacts the processes of the water cycle and all the ways in which water moves on, above, and in the Earth. Participants will explore watery habitats and get hands on with a few aquatic creatures that inhabit them! For further reading about the water cycle, checkout these fun titles at your nearest RPL branch: “The Magic School Bus Wet All Over” by Patricia Relf; “Water Dance” by Thomas Locker; and “All the Water in the World” by George Ella Lyon.
School Age programs are designed for rising kindergarten through fifth graders, though all ages are welcome, and the programs last approximately one hour. Admission is free, and attendees are encouraged to bring their favorite lawn chairs, picnic blankets or mats. Each branch will also offer limited seating and ground coverings for audience members. A responsible caretaker (age 16+) must accompany children 8 and under. For assistance with ADA accommodations, call 704-216-8240.
