The Racine Public Library, 75 Seventh St, has scheduled free weekly educational programs for school age youth in the month of October. Contact the library at 262.636.9245 to register for these upcoming opportunities:
After School Recreational Chess is being held on Thursdays from 4:30-6:30pm through October 28. These weekly gatherings are open to ages 5 and older, and beginners are welcome. A volunteer chess instructor will be available to assist beginners. A recreational tournament for all participants will take place on October 21 and 28. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Space is limited and registration is required.
Strong Voices: Creative Writing Workshops are open to young, passionate writers ages 13-18. The monthly Saturday afternoon gatherings will focus on the finer details of writing within different genres and formats. The group will not only explore their own written voices, but those of other well-known authors, as well. Writers will have the opportunity to submit their work to a variety of scholarship contests. There is no cost for the workshops and all supplies will be provided. Interested writers should contact the library at 262.636.9245 for more information or to reserve a spot for the upcoming programs. Registration may also be done via the library's website at www.racinelibrary.info. Workshops will be held on Saturdays, October 16, November 20, and December 18 from 1:00-4:00pm. Participants may choose to attend any or all of the workshops at their convenience.
Ruff Readers is the library's award-winning read-to-the-dogs program for kids ages 6-12. Youth are invited to spend 15 minutes reading to one of our therapy-trained listening dogs. This is a relaxed and fun way for kids to practice reading. Registration for this program is strongly suggested. The following times are available:
Mondays 4:00-5:00pm
Tuesdays 4:30-5:30 pm and 6:00-7:00pm
Wednesdays 3:30-4:30pm
