Talk Like Shakespeare Day
For ages 8–12
What do the sayings “green-eyed monster,” “wild goose chase,” and “heart of gold” all have in common? They were originally written by playwright William Shakespeare in one of his plays over 400 years ago! In honor of the Bard, and on his birthday, join Children’s and Teens’ Services Assistant Claire and volunteers in the Children’s Library to learn to talk like Shakespeare. With a rough outline to help get us started, we’ll be penning our own short stories using some of Shakespeare’s famous sayings.
Each child aged 8–12 may participate in the program on their own, while their chaperone remains inside the Library.
Important information: This event is for Library members, and advance registration is required. Masks are strongly encouraged for all Library visitors ages 6 and up, staff, and volunteers. Caregivers are expected to familiarize themselves with the Library Policy for Children and the Rules and Code of Conduct so that we can provide a pleasant library environment for all patrons. Questions about collections and programs for children and teens can be sent to the Library’s Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager, Celeste Rhoads: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org.
