ChildProgram Description
Join the Ecology Action Center as we explore the true story behind Ada’s Violin: The Story of the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay by Susan Hood. This colorful picture book tells how children in Cateura, Paraguay, turned trash from their town’s landfill into musical instruments! In this hands-on program, kids will create their own instruments from recycled materials, like recycled-can drums and plastic-bottle trumpets. Then, they'll come together to play music as a group. It’s a fun way to learn about recycling and music!
This program is intended for children ages 5-11 years who are accompanied by their caregivers. All materials to create instruments will be provided. No registration required.
Questions about this program can be emailed to Ms. Alysha at childrensstaff@bloomingtonlibrary.org.

Hearing Device Assistance
To accommodate hard-of-hearing patrons, the library offers the use of assistive listening devices in each Community Room and in each Children’s Program Room. For these devices to work, the presenter must use the room’s sound system. For the clearest sound, make sure the device is unobstructed by clothing or jewelry and sit in the first few rows.
If you experience connectivity issues, please let a staff member know. A guide on using the assistive listening devices is available.
