After two years of presenting BIM in a digital format due to the pandemic, KDA was proud to work in collaboration with the Kern County Library, Kern Literacy Council, and Kern County dance organizations by bringing this beloved program back to an in-person format. Between July 7 August 12, 2022 families had the opportunity to visit Kern County library branches to watch 26 dance performance based upon a well-known childrens book, engage in kinesis by learning choreography, and participate in creating a craft that coincided with the books theme. At the culmination of the session, children were divided into groups based upon age/level and posed questions to evaluate their comprehension. At the end, children were able to take home a FREE book after participating in the evaluation.The 6th annual Books in Motion program was made possible through the creative vision of Kern County dance artists.
