The Hudson Library in Highlands continues Summer Learning Programs with special events for children.
On June 20 at 3:30 p.m., the library welcomes back Big Bang Boom! There will be dancing, singing, and lots of fun! Big Bang Boom is a band made up of three dads playing parent-friendly kid music. This is a high-energy show, and both parents and children will find it hard to stay in their seats!
Big Bang Boom is a pop/rock music group from Greensboro, NC that plays parent-friendly children’s music. After 20 years touring clubs and playing parties, Chuck Folds (younger brother of Ben Folds), Steve Willard, and Eddie Walker decided to expand their horizons and play for parents who have had enough of Barney, The Wiggles, and Kidz Bop. Big Bang Boom is kid’s music, with a pop sensibility, aimed at being something that parents can enjoy and feel good about letting their kids listen to and see live.
Their live show is high-energy and demands both the kids AND the parents get involved. From getting the kids on stage to join the “Spongebob Chorus,” to the parents vs. the kids hokey pokey challenge, Big Bang Boom has established the mantra “there is no sitting down at a Big Bang Boom show!” Their songs have also won accolades in the John Lennon, USA, International, and Great American Songwriting contests.
Family Storytime continues throughout the year on Thursday mornings at 10:40 a.m. Adventure Zone on Friday afternoons from 2-4 is for all ages, young children through adults. The June 21 Adventure Zone will feature Game Time, with board games for all ages from 3 to 103!
And it’s not too late to sign up for Summer Reading, and earn prizes for reading all summer long.
