Princeton Public Library is set to host an array of activities during Spring Break Discovery Week.
Princeton Public Schools are scheduled to be closed March 17 to 21 for spring break. Several events for both children and families are planned for that week.
Spring Break Discovery week begins with a magic and comedy show 3 p.m. March 17. Brian Richards is set to return to PPL to present his crowd-pleasing magic and comedy routine for families.
A family concert is scheduled for 3 p.m. March 18. Musical duo Ernie and Neal are set to present a high-energy concert that introduces children to cultural diversity through musical genres including rock, reggae, ska, jazz, folk and bluegrass.
Just-So-Stories puppet show is scheduled for 3 p.m. March 19. Robert Rogers Puppets is set to present Rudyard Kipling’s tales of an animal kingdom where an elephant’s trunk stretches in the jaws of a crocodile, a camel’s hump grows from shear laziness, a leopard’s spots are found in the mud, and the alphabet rises from the sea.
A nature program is scheduled for 3 p.m. March 20. Naturalist Pam Newitt is set to present Nature by the Yard, a program about animals that are found in area neighborhoods and animal movements during the change in seasons.
Spring Break Discovery Week ends with a concert called Back 2 Rock 3 p.m. March 21. Electric violinist Caryn Lin plays her four-, five- and six-string electric violins and uses looping techniques to create short, on-the-spot recordings of her voice, percussion instruments and other sounds. As she plays the violin, the recorded snippets play back in a continuous loop adding layers of sound over deceptively simple melodies.
All Spring Break Discovery Week programs are set to take place in library’s Community Room.
PPL is located at 65 Witherspoon St., Princeton.
