Teens who have wanted to try out virtual reality headsets have a great opportunity at Perry Memorial Library. Youth Services Librarian Melody Peters welcomes creative programming at the library, and VR fits the bill.
Tuesday was the first opportunity to experience the VR headsets during Teen Time, but there will be another opportunity on Mar. 24, Peters said on Tuesday’s segment of The Local Skinny!
A young man is bringing headsets and his VR programming knowledge to the library for teens to enjoy, Peters said. It’s something that kids have asked about in the past, she said.
“I’m really excited to see something new and different,” Peters said.
Then, on Thursday, as part of Read Across America Week, Vance County Schools is hosting its own Read Across Vance activity at Vance County Middle School from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
“It’s wonderful to be in a room where kids can get excited about reading,” Peters said, and to be among other young people who also are enthusiastic about reading.
Schools across the school district will be represented at this gathering, and the public is invited to participate. The school is located at 293 Warrenton Road.
To celebrate Earth Day this year, the library is participating in a program that provides free trees to children and families.
Peters said interested families can call the library’s Youth Services Desk at 252.438.3316 or email her at mpeters@perrymemorial.org to register for the tree giveaway. The deadline to register is Mar. 15.
