💚🧪 SLIME TIME = BEST TIME! 🧪💚

Things got wonderfully messy at Slime Time as everyone mixed, stretched, squished, and customized their very own slime creations! Our young scientists had a blast experimenting and getting hands-on.

Thank you to all the families who came out and made this program so much fun! We love seeing everyone's creativity in action. We can't wait to slime with you again! ✨🤩

✨📚 Get ready for another week of fun, learning, and imagination at the Wilson Branch Library! 🌟💚

We have TWO special programs coming up that you won't want to miss!

📖🎭 Tuesday, June 23 at 10:30 AM: Kiddle Karoo presents The Great Storybook Mix-Up! Beloved storybook characters have landed in the wrong books, and they need your help to set things right! Join a lovable Mouse puppet, catchy music, and a colorful giant bookshelf stage for a hilarious, interactive adventure that celebrates the magic of reading, teamwork, and imagination. 📚🐭✨

🍄💖 Friday, June 26 at 1:00 PM: Join Hillside Mushrooms for a Pink Oyster Mushroom Workshop just for kids! Young mushroom enthusiasts will learn fun mushroom vocabulary, discover how mushrooms grow, and take home their very own pink oyster mushroom grow kit to care for. All materials are provided, but space is limited to the first 15 children on a first come, first served basis! 🌱🍄

Both programs are FREE and are sure to inspire curiosity, creativity, and plenty of smiles! Bring the whole family and join us for another exciting week of summer programming at the Wilson Branch Library. 💙

Thank you for supporting Kern County Library programming, we can't wait to see you there! 🎉📚
