YOUTH ENTREPRENEUR MINI WORKSHOP & MARKET REGISTRATION

East Brunswick Public Library and Future Founders Prep have come together to pilot a youth entrepreneurship program for kids aged 6-16yrs, with an introductory mini youth entrepreneurship workshop followed by a live youth entrepreneur market. Participants don’t just learn about business - they get a taste of how to create, brand, price, and sell their own products in a real LIVE marketplace and make profit!

Mini Youth Entrepreneurship Workshop Experience:

Join us for "Jurassic Mary: Fossil Girl," an interactive program for children and their families to learn more about the compelling story of Mary Anning, who discovered the plesiosaur at age 12. After uncovering one fo the world's first complete dinosaur skeletons, Anning then devoted the rest of her life to paleontology. 

Join us for a special sensory-friendly hour at the library, held before public hours.

This dedicated time is designed to offer a quieter, calmer library experience for children, teens, and adults with sensory sensitivities, along with their families or guardians.

The library will be open only to registered participants during this hour, providing a safe, low-stimulation environment to browse, read, use the computers and explore before regular public hours begin.

Stop by the makerspace to check out the various art supplies available to use at the library. Practice with different mediums and relax with an opportunity to be purely creative! Due to the messy nature of some of the supplies, this program is for students going entering grades 4+. 

Thinking about a career in medicine?  Join us for Day of Service, an exciting annual event when first-year medical students from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School visit the library to share health and wellness information and meet library patrons.  This is a great opportunity for kids and teens who are interested in pursuing a career in medicine to stop by and talk with the med students about the educational paths they took to get to this point!  (Please note, medical students are happy to share their personal experiences and insights, but they are not college or career counselors

Kids ages 3 years and up, with an adult, are invited to stop by the children's section to create a cute, silly, health-themed magnet.  Pick a magnet that looks like an athletic animal or a snail with fruit for its shell! 

This fun event coincides with the annual Day of Service, when first-year medical students from Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School visit the library to share health and wellness information and meet library patrons.

Get ready for the holiday weekend with Fourth of July readalouds before playing a few rounds of patriotic BINGO! Small prizes will be available. 

This event is recommend for grades K and up.
