Program Description

Event Details

BookSmARTS is a unique partnership program between the Desert Foothills Library and the Desert Foothills Theater for children ages 7-14 that combines books, shared enrichment themes and dramatic play to develop oral language skills, reading achievement and confidence.  

Each month the library will encourage children to read books specifically chosen as part of this program. The curated collection will include books for all reading levels and story content will support the selected theme for the month.  

At the end of the month, Desert Foothills Theater will host and lead a dramatic play workshop at the library with interactive theater games centered around the chosen theme. Participants will enjoy a 90-minutes class where no prior dramatic arts experience is required, and parents can join the fun too!  

Themes:

January 15- Friendship, kindness and being true to yourself! 

February 19- Growing a love for adventure and exploration! 

March 19- Oh the places we’ll go with imagination through poetry and rhyme! 

$10 per child/class | Registration Required
