The Oley Valley Community Library’s Summer Learning Program will be held on Fridays this summer at 10:30 am. We would like to thank the Oley Valley Community Education Foundation for sponsoring this program for the 8th year, and Friedens UCC for allowing us to use Weidner Hall each week. This program is aimed for school-age children, and we appreciate parents helping us to keep their children seated and attentive during the program.

June 5: Circus Skills

You will have firsthand experience in learning how to perform certain juggling skills. You will see a demonstration of these skills and then will have the opportunity to try them yourself. Bring on the fun!

June 12: Super Science Show

The Super Science Show will be bringing so much fun to the Oley Valley Community Library. You will learn about biology, physics, and chemistry while having so much fun that you will forget that you are also learning science.

June 19: Grins and Giggles

This fast-paced comedy show incorporates magic, ventriloquism, daring feats of balance, circus skills, and more to create a family-friendly show that is way more than just another juggling act.

June 26: Yocum Institute

Children and parents will use their imagination and movement to become different characters and objects. Learn about pantomime, characterization, and improvisation.

July 3: No Summer Learning Program

July 10: KooKoo the Cartoon Magician

KooKoo’s show focuses on interaction with the children in the audience just as much as it is about performing magic. Come to the library to see a cartoon show combined with a magic show.

July 17: Berks County Conservation District

Join Environmental Coordinator, Jennifer Brooks, and learn all about worms and the important role they play in the environment. We will read Diary of a Worm and conduct worm experiments. Also, we will learn how to use worms to compost our food scraps.

July 24: Music Play Patrol

Discover the rhythm that surrounds us every day. Bucket drumming teaches us how to transform everyday objects into a musical instrument. We will create our own rhythm.

July 31: Party Animal Express

This is an entertaining animal program that introduces you to animals through educational facts and stories. You will learn about their natural lives and how they interact with people. You will also have the opportunity to pet some of them.
