Bus #24 (GREEN Bus) will drop the kids off at the library. Your child must have a note to ride the bus every time they are to come to the library! This is for their safety to ensure they are where they are supposed to be! It is your responsibility to ensure your child knows how to get home after the program.

All school age kids are welcome! Preregistration is not required at this time but please ensure your child knows how to contact you! Please let us know if your child has a food allergy that we need to plan for.

High School kids encouraged to volunteer to help!

Absolute Science Mega Levitator

Sep 9, 2026, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM

Onawa Public Library Kids’ Club

Featuring

Absolute Science: Mega Levitator

Help us kick off this year’s Kids’ Club with Absolute Science and the Mega Levitator Program! This show is a marvelous display of what magnets and conductors can do with energy. You will be amazed at how this show seems to defy logic, as if it was made with magic. Books floating, clear liquid turning black on a time delay, fire on ice, how can it be? This show has sound, lights, and even explosions!

This program is a presentation so all ages are welcome.
