Seekonk Library’s Programs for Children and Families, November 2019

Children's Book Week November 4 – 10
Celebrate Children's Book Week with drop-in activities all week long! Drop in anytime for Library BINGO. Fill a BINGO card with library activities and maybe you'll win a bag of books! Help create a display of "KIDS' FAVORITE BOOKS". Decorate our bulletin board. Programs include Beyblade Club, Family Movies, Pokanoket Indian Tribe Visit.

Family Favorite Movies
Tuesday, November 5 at 10 AM and 1 PM
(no school Seekonk)
The Library will be showing a movie at 10 AM and another at 1 PM. These are new DVD releases and are deemed "family favorites". Visit seekonkpl.org's Calendar of Events for titles.

Beyblade Club
Mondays November 4, 18, 25 at 4 PM
Beybladers unite! Join your friends at the library for an after-school Beyblade Club. "Beyblade is a competitive game where spinning tops are launched into a stadium and clash until one is either left in the stadium or spins the longest. This spinning tops game involves strategy, physics, and good sportsmanship. Kids are encouraged to bring their own blayblades and stadiums but the library will have a limited number to share." The focus for November will be on casually playing and meeting other enthusiasts (not on tournament style play). One goal of the club is to promote good sportsmanship by "playing with a number of opponents and learning to be kind whether you win or lose." Whether you're already a Beyblade fan or just want to see what Beyblade is all about, you're invited to drop in and play! If there is interest, the Library will continue the Club in December.

Pokanoket Indian Tribe Visit
Saturday, November 9 at 11 AM
Members of The Pokanoket Indian Tribe will share a brief history of the Tribe and tell Tribal stories which have been passed down for generations. The visit will include Tribal regalia, artifacts to touch, drumming, dancing and a beading craft for children. "Children will learn all about the tribe of the Massasoit Osamequin who met the Pilgrims in Plymouth in 1621 and who ensured the Pilgrims' survival in the New World." A culturally-rich event that focuses on the "sharing of culture." Registration preferred for planning purposes but drop-ins are always welcome.
