The U.S. celebrates National Tea Day on April 21, and Perry Memorial Library is hosting a special tea party and book sale to commemorate the beverage that people enjoy all over the globe. Whether you’re a faithful patron or a newbie to the library, Melody Peters and the staff invite you to join in the fun.
The tea party will be from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, and participants can sample teas from around the world, Peters said – “something other than iced tea,” she said.
Kids will have a chance to decorate some special cups and plates for the occasion – they also can create some cool party hats.
“We hope there will be a lot of activity,” said Peters, who is the library’s Youth Services director.
Whether you like green tea, a chai or a traditional Earl Grey, come have a cuppa at the library and shop for some books at the Friends of Library sale – books and tea make a great combination.
The April Kids Connect STEM program will celebrate Earth Day just one day late on Tuesday, Apr. 23 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. After a short hike around the library to pick up whatever litter may be lying around the landscape, the group will create bird feeders with cardboard tubes, twine, sunflower butter and bird seed, Peters said.
“We’ll be outdoors in nature and explore outside” the library environs, including a stroll through the Story Walk installation while they’re at it.
This program is geared for elementary school students, siblings of all ages are most welcome to participate, Peters said. No registration is required – just show up.
