From Village Soup: Celebrate all things prehistoric at Dinosaur Day
Rockland — What diverse group of animals populated the earth for more than160 million years? Stumped? Ask a 7 year old and he or she will be sure to say, “dinosaurs!” On Saturday, Nov. 11 the Rockland Public Library invites individuals to come and celebrate all things prehistoric on “Dinosaur Day.”
Scheduled programs are an exciting “Roar! Storytime” at 10:30 a.m. and a showing of the PG rated Disney movie, Dinosaur, at 2:00 p.m. " Dinosaur" tells the story of Aladar, an abandoned iguanodon adopted by lemurs. When a meteor shower plunges their world into chaos, Aladar and his family follow a herd of dinosaurs heading for the safety of the "nesting grounds." Viewers will be able to feast upon treats during the film.
All-day activities include a scavenger hunt for dinosaur facts. There will be a prize drawing for all who have finished the hunt at the end of the day. Participants will also be able to dig for fossils (and other surprises) at the indoor dig site. Others include activity stations throughout the children’s room and a dinosaur art wall where all are invited to get creative and add their art. Activities will wind down at 4 p.m.
This month the library is also featuring a display of bones, which includes a casting of a saber-toothed cat. Although there are no dinosaur fossils in the display, it is sure to appeal to dino fans. The Rockland Public Library located at 80 Union St. and is open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Please call 594-0310 for more information.
