The West African Enrichment Program for Libraries is a hands-on experience for children of all ages. Participants will learn about the culture of West Africa through song, dance, proverbs, and music making. Children will see some of the many rhythm instruments that make up an African ensemble. They will also be shown how to make their own instruments at home from household items. Historical references will be made to the first Africans who arrived here as slaves and their important contributions to our society.
The workshop usually ends with the reading of several proverbs by volunteers from the audience. Children are then encouraged to look for picture books, story books, or biographies to further their understanding of African Culture.
