Parenting Matters Foundation and the First Teacher Program are bringing back the popular BLOCK Fest program to all North Olympic Library System locations this summer.

The building fun begins at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 10, in the gymnasium at Sequim Middle School, 301 W. Hendrickson Road.

Other BLOCK Fest events are set for Tuesday, July 24, at the Port Angeles Library, and both Forks and Clallam Bay libraries on Aug. 2.

BLOCK Fest is a research-based block play program geared towards children of ages 8 months-8 years. Parents and/or caregivers who accompany their child are encouraged to join in and play. Children and adults rotate from station to station in a self-guided tour to play with a variety of different blocks.

The event is part of the library system’s 2018 Summer Reading Program. This summertime program encourages children to keep reading during the summer break from school, features a reading challenge and a multitude of events for all ages.
