We are another week closer to summer break, but apparently the weather has not gotten the message. Thankfully, with their full calendar of activities, the library is the place to be this week. While your little one is singing along to some tiny tunes, don’t forget to pick up a Summer Reading Helping Heroes Game booklet for summer reading tips, activities, and a chance for your kid to win the[ Summer Reading Challenge](http://www.bensonhurstbean.com/2015/06/kick-off-summer-reading-at-the-brooklyn-public-library/?ref=bklyner.com). On Wednesday, your knight will learn to protect her king at a Family Chess Workshop hosted at Dyker Beach Library, or little fingers can learn some chords at Brighton Beach Library’s Guitar Workshop. If your kids are more foodies than gamers, then sign them up for Green Apron Kitchen’s cupcake class where they’ll make red velvet cupcakes and frosting from scratch.
