Shake Through Africa

A special musical presentation by Papa and Jackie Wright will teach kids about instruments that originated in Africa, like the marimba, shaker and African hand drum. Audience participation is a must, and it all wraps up with a puppet show featuring each of the instruments.

The event is free, and recommended for children from kindergarten to grade 5. As always, library staff request that you call ahead to register and let them know you're coming.
