Panda Karate: Sticks and Stones uses comedy and storytelling to teach kids how to respond to bullying without their fists. During
MCPL Expeditions events, children can go on a virtual reality journey across the globe, through time, or into outer space. Our Outreach staff will also be hosting awesome

We also have special extended hours during the summer with five branches, Connie Morella (Bethesda), Gaithersburg, Germantown, Rockville Memorial, and Silver Spring, open 10am–9pm Fridays and Saturdays through August 25. Stop by to pick up a book, cool off, or check out a program.
If you sign up online, don't forget to stop by a branch to pick up your gameboard and your various prizes (all while supplies last). We can't wait to celebrate each and every participant who completes Summer Read and Learn.
