School has started so let's kick off the library's fall programing with some real video game fun! Love playing Mario Kart on the TV? How about you actually being in the driver's seat? Start off in the children's program room to design your kart!

Then head outside to the track. You will have to hold your car in you arms while racing around the track! Be aware that there will be pitfalls galore! For example, if a banana hits you, you have to spin around 3 times and count to 10 before going again. If a Bomb hits you, have to count to 10 before you can go again. A star makes you invincible for one lap! It will be loads of silly fun! Plus snacks to refuel your engines!

School is in sessions and it’s time to jazz up your locker! Join us as we create locker magnets perfect for decor!

Let’s make sunflowers out of pipe cleaners!

The kora is a 21 stringed West African harp and is traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots. Many songs featured on the kora preserve an 800 year history dating back to the founding of the Mande empire.

And now, the very instrument has made its way to Monticello with Sean Gaskell! He studied under the extensive instruction of Moriba Kuyateh and the late Malamini Jobarteh in Gambia, and both Youssoupha Cissokho and Mamadou Cissokho in Senegal. Gaskell has presented adult, youth, and family programs at over 400 libraries and a multitude of k-12 schools, colleges, universities and assisted living facilities throughout the United States and Canada.

Join us at 3:00pm on September 5th in the Art & Sherry Morgan room for this concert!
