Throughout the month of June, the Perth & District Union Public Library has four activities for the community to engage in:

1. Welcome Rock Painting: Painted rocks are all the rage right now! The idea behind these Welcome Rocks is that community members can decorate them using the Welcome Rock painting kits that you can pick up at the Library and place them in locations for others to find as a welcome to our community gesture.
   Participants are encouraged to take a picture of their rocks in their garden or community and post them on social media with #WelcomeRocks and #CultureConnect for a chance to win a prize at the end of June.
2. Biblio Bingo: Culture Connect Biblio Bingo is a fun way for library patrons to engage in guided learning as you choose your bingo journey from the prompts on the Culture Connect Biblio Bingo card. Some examples include, watch a movie in a different language, read an 2SLGBTQ+ story, read something by an author who identifies as disabled, etc.
3. Spill the Tea: Tea is a drink enjoyed around the globe. Stop by the Library to pick up your take-and-make kit with different types of teas to try and enjoy at home. Learn about the different teas and cultural traditions involving tea using the resources in your kit.
   There is an opportunity for participants to share their experience online using both hashtags #CultureConnect and #SpillTheTea.
4. Origami or Paper Folding Activity: The art of origami is a beautiful and well-known tradition. Learning origami can be a great way for kids of all ages to engage with a different culture. Stop by the Library to pick up a kit with beautifully coloured paper, instructions (or QR codes leading to video instructions) and a resource about the history and tradition of origami.

No registration is necessary. Kits are available while supplies last.

Library Hours: Mon & Fri 10-5, Tues-Thurs 10-7, Sat 10-4
