St. Louis Front Page - "The Most St. Louis Friendly Web Site"

Rams Quarterback A.J. Feeley Kicks Off "Good to Grow"
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), May 27, 2010 - The Magic House has joined the Association of Children's Museums' "Good to Grow" initiative with the American Academy of Pediatrics to explore ways to promote children's health, and activate families through museum exhibits and programs. The Fuel Up to Play 60 Summer Experience is a good example of the types of programs The Magic House offers to get kids active.

The Fuel Up to Play 60 Summer Experience kicks off (literally!) on Saturday, June 5 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm with a visit from St. Louis Rams quarterback A.J. Feeley and the St. Louis Rams cheerleaders, who will teach children cheers and get them motivated to live a more active lifestyle.

Kids can also kick off healthier eating habits with free milk and yogurt from Prairie Farms Dairy. To add a little fun to the whole dairy experience, children can even milk a life-size pretend cow! A nutritionist will be on hand to give kids healthy tips on making food choices through a program called Food for Thought.

Throughout the program, children can join student athletes from the Team Magic squad, June 5 - August 14, for fun, interactive play and movement in the museum's Whitaker Theater. Participants can hula hoop to cool music, participate in parachute play and learn new dance moves while gaining important tips on nutrition and physical activity.

This program will empower children to make good choices about eating healthy and staying active. All children completing the program will receive an MVP badge to take home. This program is free with museum admission.

City Library Kicksoff "Water Your Mind... Read" Program
ST. LOUIS (SLFP.com), May 11, 2010 - The St. Louis Public Library is proud to announce the 2010 kickoff of its annual reading club for adult and high school readers, Pageturners.

The popular program continues through Saturday, August 7, at all St. Louis Public Library locations. This year's theme, "Water Your Mind... Read," is inspired by summer being a time of renewal and growth - but only if plants are watered regularly. Likewise, it is important that we all take time to water our minds by reading to keep us fresh and invigorated. It's a fun and rewarding way to spend the summer.

To take part in Pageturners, readers should register ONCE at any Library location. They'll receive a reading log to keep track of the books, magazines, or audio books that they complete. Each person who signs up and completes the program by reading or listening to 10 books will receive a reading certificate and special Pageturners prizes. Those who complete the club also have the chance to win two tickets to a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game and are entered into a drawing to win a laptop computer! Participants must be high school age or older and current valid St. Louis Public Library cardholders. No prizes will be awarded after August 7.

Those looking for great ideas for something new to read should visit the "Book Lovers" section of our website, slpl.org. There they'll find fiction, mystery, fantasy, science fiction, romance, graphic novels, literary fiction, and non-fiction titles to try.

Major funding and support for Pageturners is provided by the St. Louis Cardinals. For more information, visit any Library location, the Library's website at slpl.org, or call 314-539-0340.
