JULY 6 – JULY 12: MAKE SEMAPHORE FLAGS
Have you ever wondered how sailors communicated with other ships in the old days? 
Any time this week, you may make your own semaphore flags in the Main Branch Children’s Library. 
On Friday, attend “Learning the Semaphore Alphabet” in the Main Library’s story space. 
Before you know it, you’ll be singing and signing the alphabet song with your very own semaphore flags!
