The programs feature music, dancing and other fun activities by a variety of international performers and presenters. Some of the highlights are belly dancing for the whole family, listening to world music and the folk music of yesteryear, journeying to Uganda, and discovering science through experiments.

Here’s a full list of programs (check our “Happenings” section for more details on each program):

Pre-registration for groups of 10 or more is required. Registration for individuals and families is suggested. To pre-register email: grouptickets [at] museum.upenn.edu or call: 215-746-6774.

Muggles of all sorts will gather this week at the Lucien E. Blackwell West Philadelphia Regional Library (125 S. 52nd St.) for a Harry Potter movie extravaganza.

You can see the first seven movies in the series beginning Tuesday, July 12 at 1 p.m. with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2 hours, 32 minutes). Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2 hours and 41 minutes) will follow at 4 p.m.

This is a great way to beat that afternoon heat this week and catch up before the final installment, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, hits theaters on July 15. Call the library’s children’s department at 215-685-7424 for more information.

Here’s something our little neighbors and their parents will enjoy doing again now that the section “A” of Clark Park has reopened. A traditional “Storytime at the Turtle” has returned and is taking place every Thursday at 7 p.m.

Stories and short books are read by volunteers from the Parent Infant Center (PIC). Snacks and refreshments are also available. So head down with your little ones tomorrow night to the turtle for this fun and educational activity.
 

We saw this on Etsy and couldn’t resist sharing it. You see the lyrics of the famous Will Smith song everywhere, but we’ve never seen them on a onesie.

West Philly parents, here’s a great opportunity for you to get rid of your kid’s used or unwanted stuff, to help a local day care provider, and actually to earn some cash.

St. Mary’s Nursery School (3916 Locust Walk), a non-profit cooperative day care in West Philly since 1964, is holding its first annual children’s consignment sale, West Philly Grows Again. The sale will take place Saturday, June 11, but consignors are wanted now.

Here’s how it works.

– First, read the consignor guidelines and fill out a registration form.

– You’ll get an email with your consignor number and price tags for you to print out.

– You price and tag your items.

– You drop your gently used children’s items off to St Mary’s on Friday, June 10 between 5 and 8 p.m.

– Your items go on sale on Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., for the price that you have set. You get 25% of the price you set (up to 35% if you volunteer to work during the fundraiser). St Mary’s gets the rest.

– You come back Sunday afternoon to pick up your sale proceeds and any clothing that did not sell. You also have the option to donate what does not sell.

Sounds pretty easy, doesn’t it? And it’s also for a local cause. So click here and follow the steps described above.

Two upcoming events at the Lucien E. Blackwell West Philadelphia Regional Library (125 S. 52nd St.) look super fun for kids.

Tonight kids will have a chance to read to two therapy dogs, Gus and Milo, a couple of cool West Philly hounds, at 6 p.m. in the library’s great children’s section. If you miss tonight’s reading, the calm, cool and collected corgi Dandie will be at the library on Saturday at 2 p.m.

And for something completely different, the Library will host a juggling workshop with David Smith – also known as the “One Man Side Show” – at 4 p.m. tomorrow. Smith’s juggling prowess got him an audition for America’s Got Talent and is an expert at leading hands-on workshops for the whole family.
