      Any parent or caregiver of a child ages 1–10 knows the challenge of finding healthy outlets for seemingly limitless energy. The South Pasadena Public Library is offering two fun opportunities over the next two weeks to help kids get their wiggles out.

      By Melanie Hooks

      My Gym at the Library! brings a high-energy class from My Gym Pasadena to the South Pasadena Library Community Room (1115 El Centro St.) on Friday, July 24, from 10:30 to 11:00 am. Children ages 1–10 will enjoy singing, dancing, and a reading of A Magical My Gym Day, with activities designed to spark imagination and build confidence. Each child must be accompanied by an adult. No registration is required.

      This is also the final week of the library’s Wonderful Wednesday! series, held on the library lawn at 6:00 pm, for families looking for even more fun. Join percussionist Chazz Ross for an energetic drumming session that explores rhythm, songs, and the history of drumming.

      Both events are free and offer engaging ways for children to experience music, movement, and rhythm.
