We hope you’re as excited about the VIRTUAL DCoL

We hope you’re as excited about the VIRTUAL DCoL Library Turn Up as we are! Next Thursday at 2 p.m. live-streamed on the DCoL Facebook page, we’re partnering with the @dallaspubliclibrary to host an afternoon of hands-on activities. ⁠
⁠
From creating an expressive storytelling quilt to trying out fairytale-themed fitness exercises, these guided activities have been designed for elementary-age youth, but there’s plenty of fun to go around for everyone!⁠
⁠
And as we work through four learning experiences and a few brain breaks, we’ll also be sharing more about the awesome services the library provides and SMART Summer with Mayor Johnson’s reading initiative. Mark your calendars and tune in live next Thursday, July 29 at 2 p.m.

It’s TurnUp time, so mark your calendars for Thu

It’s TurnUp time, so mark your calendars for Thursday, July 29 at 2 p.m.! Dallas City of Learning is partnering with the @dallaspubliclibrary. This virtual community event will be live-streamed from the DCoL Facebook page featuring four hands-on learning experiences.⁠
⁠
Guided by librarians, attendees will get to participate in fairytale-themed fitness — think climbing like Jack and the Beanstalk — and build an animal-themed breathing buddy to help keep calm. There will also be the chance to try out a science experiment all about viscosity and an opportunity to create a storytelling quilt based on artist Faith Ringgold’s work. You can choose to participate in one, some or all of these experiences!⁠
⁠
Along with trying out these exciting activities, you’ll also hear all about the amazing services the library offers!
