Music & Movement

            We were movin’ and groovin’ at the Calhoun County Library on Saturday, May 14! Our kickoff for Music & Movement was filled with fun, and children learned how amazing they really are.

            The program will be held every 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month from 11 AM - 11:30 AM for children ages 0 - 5 and is funded by the State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Representatives from SC State University’s Early Childhood Education Department instructed the program including an animated reading of Amazing Me!: Music! by Carol Thompson. While the book was being read aloud, participants were able to look at their own copy and read along; this board book was a take-home gift to help develop their home libraries.

            Following the read along, instructors mesmerized children with musical talents and a unique song which coincided with the Amazing Me! book. They had them swinging and swaying and singing all about how amazing they were.  They marched, hopped, and wiggled to the beat and didn’t even notice that they were actually learning and appreciating music. 

            Parents left the program with a board book, free diapers and wipes, and a meal coupon for a free meal at Town & Country Restaurant. 

            Don’t miss out on all the fun at our next Music & Movement program on May 28 at 11 AM!

            This project is made possible by a Library Services and Technology Act grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services administered by the South Carolina State Library.
