WATERVILLE — The Waterville Public Library, 73 Elm St., will offer youth programming in August that includes a musical program and a puppet show.
“Earthjam!” with Woolwich-based folk singer, guitarist, and songwriter Matt Loosigian, specializing in playful, funny songs about ecology and being green will be held Saturday, Aug. 11, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Loosigian works his musical magic in this interactive and fun music show. He has been spreading musical joy around Maine and New England for 13 years.
With a deep background in choral, solo and a cappella singing, today he performs at school assemblies and family concerts, also leading workshops for teachers. In 2009, he released a solo album, “Hungry for the Sun,” that received a Kids Music Award, with songs about ecology and being green. Loosigian also teaches Music Together classes in Brunswick and Bath. For information on this program, call 207-680-2604, or email librarian@watervillelibrary.org
“Dogs to the Rescue!” — a puppet show presented by Climate911 — will be held Monday, Aug. 13, from 11 a.m. to noon.
Dogs to the Rescue focuses on what can be done to stop climate pollution. What makes it so fun and engaging is that the story is told from a canine point of view. “Even though we are supposed to be the trainers, dogs are quite good at getting us to do what they want,” says Dr. Wendy Ring, the show’s creator. “I thought about how dogs would notice our changing climate and imagined what they would do to get humans to stop it. It’s a fun way to share all the ways we can act locally to cut down greenhouse gas emissions and build healthier communities.”
The show is appropriate for kids three and older, is free and open to the public.
