History Makers at Gary Byker Library, ages 6-9

Get inspired by the past! In this new program for kids ages 6-9, we will read a picture book biography about a real-life hero, trailblazer, or changemaker, then bring history to life with a fun craft or hands-on activity. From artists and activists to scientists and explorers, each session highlights someone who made a difference in the world.

For September, we're reading "Cubs in the Tub" by Candace Fleming - the amazing true story of Helen Martini, the Bronx Zoo's first female zookeeper! Kids will listen to the book, have some free-flowing discussion, and work on a tiger craft.

Discover how Helen broke barriers in the 1960s, from bottle-feeding tiger cubs in her own bathtub to proving that women could handle any zookeeping job. After hearing her inspiring story, we'll create our own tiger craft to take home. Come learn about a trailblazing woman who followed her dreams and changed the world - one tiger cub at a time!
