Ziggity Zoom to Participate in "Be Creative at Your Library" Summer Program

Virginia Beach -  In conjunction with the “Be Creative at Your Library” summer reading program that is held nationwide,  ZiggityZoom.com will participate this July at the Virginia Beach Central Library.

Centered around creative activites, and based in Virginia Beach themselves, ZiggityZoom.com is a website that is devoted to the 3-8 age group, their parents and teachers.  On July 9,  editors of Ziggity Zoom will present two sessions, held morning and afternoon,  interweaving the creativity found in books with the fun of creating original puppets.  The puppets will revolve around characters from the books read to the children that day.  Kids will have the fun of creating their own puppet during the session and learn the value of finding creativity right in their own library.

Summer reading programs are a great way to provide children opportunities to read books and listen to stories.  Educators realize that these summer programs help little kids get ready to read and big kids raise their reading scores. Public libraries all over the country now participate in the Reading program, which has a new theme every year.  "Be Creative at Your Library" is a wonderful free program that promotes parent/child involvement.

Activities are built around family involvement at ZiggityZoom.com.  Each month, many new crafts, recipes, coloring pages and activities are added for kids and their parents.  Recently posted for Summer is the new Summer Fun Guide, featuring Boredom Busters, Fun Foods, Water Fun and lots of outdoor activities.
