South Mandarin Branch Zooms Back to the '60's

Councilman Stephen Joost, his family, and all those who wanted to zoom back to a volatile decade did so at South Mandarin Branch children's staff's "Spring Into the 1960s" program, March 20.  Pictures and library materials capturing the many changes of that decade--Vietnam, the civil rights movement, JFK & RFK, the Cuban crisis, the flower children; and go-go boots, wild prints, and the peace symbol were everywhere. 

Children and adults played Twister, made “pop art", hula hooped, and danced to the music of the 60s (remember the Watusi, the Twist, and the Monkey?) Whatta a decade and whatta great time the 40 participating customers had!

At top is SOM's display, and the children’s staff includes (L/R) Anne Clement, Pat Dowdell, Angela Richman, and Tracy O'Sullivan.
