Celebrate Dr. Seuss at Oshkosh Public Library
Feb. 23, 2017 – You’ll have more fun than a fox in socks at the annual celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday on Saturday, March 4, at the Oshkosh Public Library.
Families are invited to join in the celebration from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the library’s lower level. The event will include engaging activities for all ages - games and crafts, birthday cake, a book zoo and a giant birthday card for families to sign. There will be a colorful Seuss-themed backdrop for family photos and a special treat this year: Balloon twister Stacey Schmude will dazzle with her balloon creations for the kids.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this annual birthday party is watching parents and children reading and celebrating books together, according to Marie Boleman, Head of Children’s & Family Outreach Services. It’s also a chance for the library to show parents creative ways to make learning fun.
“Kids who are signing the giant Dr. Seuss birthday card can show off their vocabulary by writing a creative word that they think best describes the author’s books,” Boleman says. “They can challenge themselves with games like Add & Estimate with One Fish, Two Fish and other activities on the library’s SmartBoard.”
Registration is not required for the Dr. Seuss birthday celebration. For more information about resources, programs and events for children and families, call 236-5208 or visit www.oshkoshpubliclibrary.org.
