Hands-on art and science activities featuring Warner Brothers<br />
Looney Tunes characters and the animation of artist Chuck<br />

of all ages. At the Acme STEAM Lab, volunteers helped 626 kids<br />

Wiggle Interactive Storywalk<br />
With the library closed, we brought an exhibit outside the library,<br />
encouraging people to go outside and move. Families enjoyed visiting<br />
stations along the bike trail to learn the story of a dog who likes to<br />
wiggle in English and Spanish and doing some wiggling themselves!<br />
