With spring just around the corner, school spring breaks aren’t far behind, and Youth Services Librarian Melody Peters said the library’s planning some fun programming for when youngsters are out of school.
In addition to some of the familiar offerings, like Sunday’s Family Story Time, Mother Goose Story Time, Teen Time and Lego Club, Peters told WIZS’s Scout Hughes about some daytime activities for schoolchildren in the week leading up to Easter when many area schools are on break.
On Monday, Mar. 30, the library will show the movie Zootopia 2 beginning at 1:30 p.m. Then at 4 p.m., it’s time for Smurfs 2025, she said.
It’s fine to bring your favorite snacks to enjoy during the showings, she said.
If you plan to bring groups of 10 or more, please email Peters in advance at mpeters@perrylibrary.org.
On Tuesday, Mar. 31, come at 4:30 p.m. for arts and crafts activities. On Wednesday, Apr. 1, the two movies for the day are Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie and Elio, an animated Disney Pixar film released in 2025.
There’s another movie showing on Monday, Mar. 23 – this one is Hidden Figures, based on a true story about three women and their contributions to NASA. It’s part of Women’s History Month, as is a special story time on Tuesday, Mar. 24 at 4 p.m. to read Around America to Win the Vote: Two Suffragists, a Kitten, and 10,000 Miles.
The book tells the true story of two women who traveled around in an old yellow car to spread the word about women’s suffrage – giving women the right to vote.
“It is a beautiful book about their trek,” Peters said. “A great story about what they did” that eventually paved the way for the 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
