Squonk's Sonic Science Workshop
April 27 | 1pm
Join Squonk for a fun and FREE workshop exploring the science of sound and the joy of music. "Squonk in the Libraries" leaders T-Funk and Lindsey will lead games and activities for all ages at the Braddock's Battlefield History Center.
As a group we will immerse ourselves in how rhythm and sound play a part in each of our lives with exciting music and movement games, and improvisation! The workshop will include rich, creative experimentation and expression exploring the world of sound, including waves, pitch, rhythm and musical language.
We include the fascinating bridge between our left and right brain: audio and visual, science and art, while enjoying music in its rich complexity and joy!

We are excited that our library is undergoing an extensive construction project to bring you new and enhanced areas and features. Whether you're seeking a quiet corner to dive into a novel or a dynamic environment to connect with fellow learners, our expanded library will offer a diverse array of options to cater to your needs.
In the meantime, until construction is complete, we are operating out of three locations: our main library services are available at 526 Braddock Avenue in Braddock, our programs are held at the Braddock’s Battlefield History Center at 609 Sixth Street in North Braddock, and our satellite library services are located in the Human Services Center Mon Valley in Turtle Creek.
