A team from Imagi Nation, Allentown, will be at the library 11 a.m.-1 p.m. Aug. 15. Participation is limited to 25, including staff, due to COVID-19 guidelines.

A group of experienced educators will lead kids, ages 3-12, in a mini-version of the on-site educational experience of the pint-size “city” they created.

Children will be able to explore what a real-life career or job might be like. Through the use of costumes, props and other activities, your child can have fun pretending to be a dentist, plumber, stock person, recycling engineer, fireman and more. Along the way, they’ll learn critical social skills everyone needs, such as problem solving, decision making and working together as a team.

The Imagi Nation program will be held outdoors. There will be a tent, so light rain will be OK. The organization reserves the right to postpone the event to another date.

For more information and registration, call the library at 610-262-7351. There is also registration page on the library’s website.
