April Vacation Programs
For Children @ the Pawtucket Public Library
(13 Summer St.)
The Pawtucket Public Library Children’s Library at 13 Summer Street has a series of special events planned for the week of April vacation. All programs for April vacation week are free and do not require registration.
Monday, April 14th
3:00PM
Pet Cents
Kids ages 8-12 are invited to play Pet Cents! Players adopt a pet — and take on the financial responsibilities of pet ownership — as they visit various stations around the room. At each stop, players engage in financial transactions with an assistant/cashier, spending and receiving money until the timer runs out. Along the way, they are faced with unexpected events that could result in a financial windfall or expense. Kids will have fun playing the game and learning financial literacy skills at the same time.
Tuesday, April 15th
2:00PM
Karaoke Afternoon Fun

Children’s Day/Book Day Celebration
