Color our world, and celebrate diverse cultures from around the globe! Every Wednesday during our Summer Reading Program, elementary-age kids are invited to join us for a new event where they can explore and experience unique cultures and traditions from different countries.

Travel back to ancient Egypt and discover hieroglyphs! A cartouche is an oval-shaped nameplate used by pharaohs, engraved with hieroglyphic symbols that were believed to protect them and make sure their names were remembered forever.

Join us today as we create our own cartouches out of clay and carve names using real hieroglyphs. It’s a fun and creative way to explore ancient history and take home a personalized piece of the past!

为世界增添光彩，庆祝世界各地的多元文化！世界星期三活动邀请小学生每周三参加一项全新活动，探索和体验不同国家独特的文化和传统。
今天我们将回到古埃及时代探索象形文字的奥秘！古埃及的法老们将象形文字刻在椭圆形铭牌上，传说中这些符号可以保护他们，并让他们的名字被永远铭记。
我们将用粘土制作我们自己的象形文字铭牌，并雕刻我们真实的名字。制作一件特别的作品带回家去，这是一种富有创意的方式来探索古代历史。

If you need disability-related accommodations in order to participate in this event, please contact the Library.
