Whirled on a String: Library begins summer activities with Yo-Yo professional

The Daingerfield Public Library has begun their summer activities, welcoming Valerie Oliver to the Morris County Annex on June 2.

Oliver, a member of Lone Star Spinners, out of Fort Worth, talked to children about science, all while having fun with yo-yos and other spinning toys. She discussed the energy of motion, and how the yoyos must be moving in order to perform the tricks and such that she did. She also discussed other scientific aspects with the students, although they simply saw it as having fun and learning how to yo-yo. As a special treat, the library purchased yo-yos for all children present, so they were able to practice simple beginner techniques with Oliver.

The library will be hosting different events each week, and a complete calendar can be found in the Library’s website, and in The Steel Country Bee’s Happening section.
