PITTSFIELD – Kids Explore, a new monthly program for children in grades one through five at Pittsfield Public Library, is designed to provide an opportunity for kids to have fun exploring and investigating science.

The next program will be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, June 12. Children will explore engineering by making a race car and see what makes a race car go fast.

The library will present a puppet show, “Puss ‘n’ Boots,” performed by Wladimir Ortiz Gomez, at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, May 17.
