For the kids

CHECK OUT THE PETTING ZOO AT NEWARK PUBLIC LIBRARY THIS FRIDAY

Published July 12, 2017 | Brick City Live

This coming Friday, July 15, a parade of “furry friends” including pigs, goats, chicks, rabbits and other animals will visit Newark Public Library to meet local youth and the young at heart.

Kids are invited to meet and feed the animals, which are being escorted to the library by Quiver Farm. The farm specializes in community outreach, bringing animals to schools, nursing homes, parties and–yes–libraries. The nearly 30-year-old institution also provides hands-on activities, including chick hatching and beekeeping, in addition to the traveling farm that will stop at Newark Public Library’s main branch on Friday.

Check our calendar for more programs from Newark Public Library, including Y on Wheels, a collaboration with the Newark YMCA, which is rolling through the Newark Library system all month (the program will offer a face-to-face meet-and-greet with the New Jersey Devils on Thursday, July 13th at the Springfield Branch).
