<br />Spring Break Fun and Info at Library
<br />Snow or no snow, it's nearly Spring Break! Kids and teens find fun,
<br />new ideas, and friends at the Eugene Public Library. All kids' events
<br />are free but space is limited; pick up tickets starting 30 minutes in
<br />advance. The week starts with the Magic Camel Puppet Theater show
<br />on Sunday, March 26, 2:00 – 2:45 p.m. at the Downtown Library, for
<br />ages pre-school and up. Take a journey through time and the Middle
<br />East with marionettes, rod, and shadow puppets in an original story
<br />highlighting both the connections between Muslim and Jewish
<br />cultures as well as their differences.
<br />
<br />At Lights, Shadows, Action!, elementary-age kids create their own
<br />animal shadow puppets a the following times: Tuesday, March 28,
<br />2:00 - 3:30 p.m., Downtown Library; Thursday, March 30, 3:00 -
<br />4:30 p.m., Bethel Branch; and Friday, March 31, 11:00 - 12:30,
<br />Sheldon Branch. Storyteller Robert Rubinstein enchants kids
<br />elementary-age and up with Animal Tales from Around the World,
<br />Saturday, April 1, 2:00-3:00 p.m., at the Downtown Library.
<br />
<br />For teens into manga, drop in to meet Michael Ring, owner of
<br />Portland’s Bridge City Comics, at Manga Desu-Yo (Japanese for "Manga - YES!"), on Monday, March
<br />27, from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. at the Downtown Library, or 3:00 - 4:00 p.m. at Bethel Branch. Hear about the
<br />history and future of manga, comics, and graphic novels, plus anime sub vs. dub. Ask questions and see
<br />new, hot-off-the-press works.
<br />
<br />Internet FYI, a two-day, hands-on-keyboard workshop for teens is scheduled for Wednesday, March 29
<br />and Thursday, March 30 from 2:00 - 4:00 p.m., at the Downtown Eugene Public Library. Do you feel like
<br />the only person on earth without e-mail, a blog, or a website? Is everyone at school talking about
<br />MySpace and you don't know where your space is? When your parents rant about online stranger
<br />danger, can you tell if they’re paranoid or not? Would your friends GOL (giggle out loud) – or even BWL
<br />(burst with laughter) – if you asked them to explain it all? Computer teacher/guru Melanie Morrison is
<br />here for you! Pre-registration required. For more information about Spring Break programs, call the
<br />Eugene Public Library at 682-5450.
