Join us as we celebrate two of Fall River's own hometown heroes: Joe Raposo of Sesame Street fame and Sarah Anna Lewis, the first Black teacher in Fall River. Along with other figures from Fall River history, Raposo and Lewis were painted by Fall River artist Sheila Oliveira. Her beautiful portraits, which have been donated to the library, will be unveiled for all to see today.
Joe Raposo was an accomplished composer best known for his musical contribution to such hit children's series as Sesame Street and The Electric Company, as well as for hit songs "Sing" and "Bein' Green." Come join us as we celebrate his life and legacy.
Sarah Anna Lewis, born in 1846, grew up to attend the Bridgewater Normal School, now known as Bridgewater State University. She began her studies in 1867 and is believed by many to have been the first Black student to graduate from Bridgewater. She was hired to teach in Fall River public schools in 1869 and thus became the first Black teacher in Fall River history.

MAD SCIENCE makes STEM learning fun! Kids are invited to join us for two hands-on, science-based activities:
Slime!: The Mad Science slime recipe is revealed in this ooey gooey chemistry class! Students will learn about slime and its basic ingredients in a series of hands-on activities. Polymer paper clips and cross-linking magnetic marbles will help to examine the key components of slime. Varied concoctions of slime will stir up in scientific style, and the properties of slime will be tested in a team-spirited fashion at the Slime Olympics!
Dry Ice Capades: Children in this class will probe the shifting states of matter through a series of engaging demonstrations and inquiry-based activities. The class warms up with a molecular movement exercise to learn about the three states of matter. Next, students observe melted and re-solidified metal, a shift of states from solid to liquid right before their eyes. Dry ice, the star of the show, used in a series of tests, under the guidance of the instructor, explores the properties of matter at extreme temperatures. Children use balloons to help visualize the volumetric difference between matter in solid and gaseous states. The class rolls toward a grand finale that engages the group in catching a cloud!
Registration is recommended for these events. To sign up, contact the library's Children's Room at 508-324-2700, ext. 4, or email kkulpa@sailsinc.org.
