Come join other kids grades 2-5 for an integrated hour of play.  This club was started by a fellow SEPAC elementary student in collaboration with the Reading Public Library as a social get-together to share in the love of legos, paint, and art.  A librarian and SEPAC volunteer will help to run the event.  Kids have the option to talk about their creations and have them displayed in the library.  Legos will remain at the library but any paint or drawing projects are optional for take home.  

This drop-in play is a free community event. Please click here for more details on the Fall Session.

Culture Immersion Series: Mid-Autumn Moon Festival

Saturday, Sept 28 12-3:30pm In Person at the Reading Public Library’s Community Room 

• SEPAC will be having a booth with crafts for Reading’s first annual Mid-Autumn Moon Festival as part of an inaugural culture immersion series sponsored by the Reading Public Library, Reading Office of Equity and Social Justice, Reading Chamber of Commerce, and Must Eats Travel.  There will be family-friendly performances such as a Japanese tea demonstration, Native American storytelling, and Lion Dancing.  The latter will have a special dedicated line for SEPAC families to have a photo opportunity with a Lion Dancer. The festival is a free community event. 

• Come drop by our booth for fun activities and be sure to ask for free ear plugs (for any sensory sensitivities) and a free Sunflower Hidden Disabilities lanyard donated by Must Eats Travel. The lanyards can be reused at participating airports and other establishments to indicate you or your child has a hidden disability and special care and/or assistance is needed.

• If you are available for any amount of time to help us staff our SEPAC Booth please email us at SEPACReading@gmail.com or sign-up on our Volunteer Sign-up Sheet.  Thank you.
