We'll See You at the Library!
Kids and Cultures photo by Matt Lester Join us at Lancaster Public Library this summer for a series of five fun family sessions. The Wenger family of Kids and Cultures will share fun folktales from around the world, followed by related activities from the cultures that have passed along the tales. Have fun learning about part of the water cycle from other cultures' perspectives, in this interactive storytime that fits in with summer reading program's Make A Splash theme! For elementary age children and their families.

7th Annual Kids and Cultures Camp Concludes
Seventy-eight children participated in a week (or two) of stories, music, crafts, games, snacks, and guests from other countries at the seventh annual Kids and Cultures Camp which was held the last two full weeks of June. Campers "visited" a different country each day and created their own travel scrapbooks.
This year's Camp destinations were Hawaii, Italy, Venezuela, Egypt, India, Ethiopia, the Philippines, Haiti, Ecuador, and Syria. Kids and Cultures Camp was held at Lancaster Country Day School, Lancaster, Pa., a new location for the Camp.
