Make Plans For Spring Break

Spring break is going to be hopping at the Syracuse Public Library with the children’s department helming fun activities for each day. Those going to Florida shouldn’t have all the fun.

Monday, April 4, is game day. The children’s department’s games will be set up and ready to play with during library hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Lego day is Tuesday, April 5. Children can build with the Legos during library hours from noon to 8 p.m. From 2-3 p.m., stop by to build with Lego Jell-O, and then swing back to watch “The Lego Batman Movie” at 6 p.m.

Wednesday, April 6, will be “Where’s Waldo” day with a scavenger hunt and activity sheets to complete. Then drop in from noon to 8 p.m. Thursday, April 7, to create play dough and clay creations.

The week cumulates with a tour of Sweetwater in Fort Wayne. Everyone will meet at 2 p.m. Friday, April 8, at Sweetwater, 5501 US 30 West; plan to arrive about 10 minutes early. During the tour, children will learn about Sweetwater’s history, see its behind-the-scenes recording studios, go down the giant slide, and more.

Space is limited to 25 people, so registration is required. Register in person at the library or online at https://bit.ly/3CEyqjM; be sure to register each person individually so the library does not exceed its limit.
