Bubbles of Happiness with Debi

Youth Program Room
Tuesday, Aug 13, 2024, 10:00am to 11:00am

Wouldn’t it be amazing to feel more wellbeing this summer?  Feel more connected to those little (or not so little) people in your life?  This summer, let’s explore positive psychology (happiness) hacks you can use with your family.  Led by Debi Kennedy, each workshop will include open-ended crafts and activities for families to explore together, as well as a take home worksheet with additional information for the adults.  If you joined us last summer, make sure to come this year for NEW topics!

Finding Joy! (Gratitude)

“Joy is the simplest form of gratitude.” ― Karl Barth  

 While children may be excellent at exhibiting joy, research has shown that children under age 5 may not be able to express true gratitude.  How then, can we turn the importance of gratitude into a daily practice for our children? We’ll practice expressing joy & gratitude with simple, yet meaningful, activities for you and your child to do together.

Read to a Dog

Youth Program Room
Tuesday, Aug 13, 2024, 10:00am to 11:30am

Read aloud to Libby, a certified therapy dog from Alliance Therapy Dogs. Reading to an attentive, non-judgmental audience is a great way for young people to build fluency, and being with a pet has many other proven health benefits.

This program is first-come, first-serve, so drop in at any time. Bring books from home, or pick them out from the library.

This program is recommended for ages 5 and up.
