Edible plants, duct tape and cartooning to kick off library’s Spring Break

Whether you’re out of school or making up snow days, celebrate Spring Break at the Asheboro library with  a variety of events for school-age kids during the week of April 14.

All activities take place at 4 p.m.

On Monday, April 14,  “Grow Your Own Dinner!” Participants will learn about common plants used in their food, identify seeds and watch them grow.

Each child will go home with a seed starter kit of his or her choice, featuring vegetables and herbs we eat daily.

Stick around the library on Tuesday, April 15 for “Duct Tape Designs.” Kids, tweens and teens can learn to make useful and fun accessories with the ever-popular household product, duct tape.  Make three or more items including wallets, clutch-purses and cell phone covers. Ages 8-up.

Join illustrator Rich Powell for “Cartooning for Kids” on Wednesday, April 16. Powell will help kids in grades 2-5 who are just discovering their cartooning talent create and make their own kooky characters.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Library, the Spring Break activities are free and the public is invited.

The Asheboro library is located at 201 Worth Street in Asheboro.
