Children’s Books and Music Series

Join local organization Kids’ Orchestra in this experiential program that draws together literacy with music-making. Each month, children ages five to eleven will explore different themes from books at the East Baton Rouge Parish Library while learning about instruments, singing songs, dancing, and playing games.

In May, it’s all about songs as books. Some examples are Imagine by John Lennon and What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. Students will learn about rhythm by dancing and melody by using solfege syllables.

This month, this program will take place on May 13 at 11 am at the Main Library and May 20 at 11 am at the Jones Creek Regional Branch. Free. Registration is required at ebrpl.com.
