Kids Learn About ‘Rock Stars’ at Gem, Mineral Program
From limestone and granite to sedimentary and igneous, children ages 5-11 will enjoy learning about rocks during special summer programs planned this summer at East Baton Rouge Parish Library System branches.  Cherie Schofield of the Baton Rouge Gem and Mineral Society will grab the young would-be geologists’ attention with a reading of a picture book on the alphabet and rocks.  She’ll also educate them on the types of rocks and how to identify them in fun, visual ways. Registration is required.  This entertaining and educating program is scheduled at the Pride‑Chaneyville Branch on Wednesday, July 2, at 2:30 p.m.  and at the Central Branch on Tuesday, July 8, at 2 p.m.
