Dinosaur-themed events at Switzer and regional branches begin June 2
By Kelly Johnson
Ushering in the first full week of summer break, Stacks and the #SwitzerDinos will hail Dino Day at Charles D. Switzer Library on June 2nd. While the Stacks and compadres typically host Dinovember in the fall, summer will see the mascots as the faces of dinosaur-themed events at Switzer and regional branches. Dino Day begins at 2:00 PM and is intended for children (up to age 9), offering age-appropriate crafts, games, and activities.
Predating Tuesday’s Dino Day, on June 1st, Switzer’s Sensory Friendly Movie Monday lineup begins with We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story. This animated feature is the first 11 AM matinee of the month. Every Monday thereafter, excluding the third week of the June, will feature the following films respectively: Walking with Dinosaurs (6/8), The Land Before Time II (6/22), and Journey to the Center of the Earth (6/29).
Switzer’s June calendar is brimming with events; here are a few which may be of interest:
- Scifi Book Club, Tuesday, June 2nd at 6:30 PM
