February is Library Lovers Month, and we invite you to celebrate, explore, connect, and
share your love for libraries all month long.

Our Kickoff Event, “Where JOY Meets Lyrical LEARNING,” takes place Saturday, February 1, at 11:00AM at MCPL’s Olney Library. Music edu-tainer Ms. Niki invites kids of all ages on a colorful adventure through upbeat original songs and classic favorites with a fresh new twist!

Ideal for early childhood, these songs help young students navigate their days, express happiness through movement, build self-love and body awareness, and discover patterns through beats and rhythms. Through her “Lyrical Learning” approach, listeners are guaranteed to learn something new about themselves and others.

A New Age cross between Mary Poppins and Ms. Frizzle, Ms. Niki offers a wide variety of songs, workshops, and performances for kids and kids at heart. Ms. Niki and 25 other artists are members of the 1 Tribe Collective whose album “All One Tribe” was GRAMMY-nominated for Best Children’s Music Album in 2022.

This event is geared towards elementary school-aged children.
