Learn about the lives of remarkable historical figures and get hands on with an activity related to their work!
Join us each month to listen to a read aloud and explore the life of a not-so-well-known influential person. Afterwards we'll work on an activity inspired by their field of interest to learn more about their job and the impact they had on our world. Be ready for some hands-on activities!
This month we're learning about Charles S. Parker, a trailblazing Black scientist who made major contributions to the fields of botany and mycology, by reading Rooting for Plants: The Unstoppable Charles S. Parker, Black Botanist and Collector by Janice N. Harrington.
Engaging in arts activities can improve a child’s fine motor skills and enhance their creative problem-solving abilities. Activities like cutting, gluing, painting, and drawing can help children develop better coordination and dexterity, while creating three dimensional objects can improve visual-spatial skills.
The Burbank Central Library is located at the corner of Glenoaks Boulevard and Olive Avenue in downtown Burbank. It is a two-story building with elevator access.
