Asheboro library offers Spring Break activities for kids, families

School’s out soon for Spring Break, so visit the Asheboro Public Library for a week of special events for kids and families beginning April 1.

The activities are free and include poetry writing, gardening and making 2-liter tornadoes. Two movies also will be screened during the week.

• Monday, April 1 will feature a Family Afternoon Movie, Brave, at 2 p.m.
• At 2 p.m. April 2, former English teacher Sue Farlow will lead a Kids’ Poetry Workshop.
• On Wednesday, April 3, children’s librarians will ask, “How Does Your Garden Grow?” at 3 p.m. Participants can learn about spring plants and flowers, and take home a seed kit to start their own gardens.
•  “Extreme Weather" is the topic for Thursday, April 4. Kids can learn about extreme weather events, create weather-related projects and take home a 2-liter tornado.
• Another Family Afternoon Movie, Wreck it Ralph, will be shown at 2 p.m. Friday, April 5.

Space is limited for the poetry, gardening and weather programs; call 318-6804 to sign up or for further information.
