In C.S. Lewis' book, The Chronicles of Narnia the Pevensie children must make it to the castle of Cair Paravel. Or they find themselves locked in Jadis' Castle - the castle of the White Witch!
Can you create your outdoor castle using sand and natural, found material from our grounds, and then paint a picture of it en plein-air?
As a bonus, biologist Iola Price, will walk us through our own mini-forest here at Rockcliffe Park Branch and show us the ways that nature adapts and protects itself. She will uncover some of nature’s very cool secrets.
Let us show you these worlds – where will the library take you next?
Space is limited. Registration required. English. For ages 7-12 (Children ages 4-6 are also welcome with adult supervision.)

About Iola
Iola is a biologist. She has worked her entire career to help save our environment. As a scientist she has had many adventures including helping baby Peregrine Falcons until they were big enough to fly free, counting migrating shorebirds from a small airplane over the North coast of South America to studying the effects of toxic chemicals in Black-crowned Night Herons on Lake Ontario.
She is active in our community to remove invasive plants that crowd out our native plants (like Trilliums) and is helping to create a natural mini forest (woodlot) here at the Rockcliffe Public Library.
