The Mary Baker Eddy Library was pleased, once again, to continue “One World,” the free children’s enrichment program for children ages 4-10.
“One World” is a summer program that introduces culture and arts to the children of Boston. Activities in 2010 included arts and crafts, book giveaways, live multicultural performances, a trivia activity, and free admission to the world-famous Mapparium®, the spectacular three-story, stained-glass globe.
Craft activities were designed to connect children to the Library’s historical collection, including making journal books to photo frame decoration. Each week featured a musical performance and craft activity.
“One World,” was held 10 a.m. to noon, on the following Tuesdays: July 6; July 13; July 20; July 27; August 3; and August 10.
“The ‘One World’ program extends the reach of the Library and its namesake and hopefully inspires children to get excited about museums and libraries. We help make history and its ideas vibrant and alive, while teaching kids about different cultures and ways of life,” said Lesley Pitts, executive manager and president of the library.
