From the 9th to the 22nd of June, the Petawawa Public Library has lots activities for the community to engage in as part of the 2025 summer edition of Culture Connect:

1. Welcome Rock Painting: 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 Culture Connect.
2. Spill the Tea: Tea is a drink enjoyed around the globe. Stop by the Library to pick up your mystery take-and-make kit with 5 of 10 different types of teas to try and enjoy. 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.
3. 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.

Kits are available while supplies last.
