It's Freedom Friday, and we're celebrating Juneteenth!

Join us this summer for a Black Storytime series celebrating African and African American heritage and culture! Children from birth to age 6 (with their favorite adult/family members) will have fun with books and stories, songs, a craft, and movement activities in a positive and affirming environment. Black Storytime builds language and literacy skills your child needs to be ready for kindergarten.

Please join us at the new Holgate Library for the ribbon cutting and White Lotus Dragon and Lion Dance Team to open the first new building of the library building project! Follow the dancers through the building to ensure good luck and fortune, and stay for the day-long celebration. 

Two talented Indigenous hoop dancers will share their culture and skills through the art of hoop dance, followed by a Q & A session. Hoop dancing originated as a healing ceremony and continues to be practiced and shared as a form of Indigenous tradition, artistic expression and cultural sharing opportunity. Hoops are utilized to make formations that honor various animals and nature, as well as new and creative designs.
