Super Hero Academy Event for Keiki at 18 Oahu Libraries

In celebration of the HSPLS 2015 Children's Summer Reading Program, HouseMart Ace Hardware and HouseMart Ben Franklin Crafts will present "Super Hero Academy," a free event at 18 selected Oahu public libraries from Wednesday, June 10 through Friday, July 10.

Keiki ages 5 and older, accompanied by a parent or caregiver, are invited to experience a special "Hardware Science" program featuring demonstrations, two interactive stations for exploring Hardware Science experiments such as making secret messages using lemons, and a super hero craft activity station to make-and-take a hero craft item. In this one-hour program, participants will receive a stamp card to record the completion of all three activities and receive a Super Hero Academy Graduation Certificate and a chance to enter a free prize drawing.

In this year's Children's Summer Reading Program theme "Every Hero Has a Story," pre-kindergarteners through 6th graders are invited to discover the "superheroes" within themselves as they read and learn about real life, fantasy and everyday heroes among us who do extraordinary things! Weekly reading incentives will include items such as school supplies, tasty treats, and a Super Hero Activity Kit for young readers to assemble Super Library-Ann, Captain Read-A-Lot and a superhero of their own creation. Free lucky drawings will also be conducted at each library for a chance to win a Back-to-School Backpack filled with handy school supplies for registered children (two prize winners per library).
