Illness cancels Dinosaurs Rock! shows at Goochland Library and nearby branches
Families lost a planned dinosaur library outing as Goochland, Montpelier, Rockville and Atlee shows were canceled, with makeup dates still pending.
Families headed to the Goochland Branch Library had to change plans after Dinosaurs Rock! shows were canceled across several Pamunkey Regional Library branches because of illness. The Goochland program had been set for June 10 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in the Goochland Meeting Room, and the library said new dates would be posted once the program was rescheduled.
The disruption stretched beyond Goochland. Pamunkey Regional Library’s calendar had listed Dinosaurs Rock shows at Hanover on June 9, Goochland on June 10 and Atlee on June 11, with the June 10 schedule also including stops in Montpelier and Rockville. The Atlee listing, set for June 11 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m., was marked canceled because of instructor illness.
For parents trying to fill the gap between the school year and later summer camps, the cancellation removed one of the county’s low-cost, high-value kid-friendly options. Libraries often serve as a built-in summer stop for children of different ages, and the loss of one program can ripple through a family’s day, especially when it had been part of a planned outing with siblings or caregivers.
The cancellation also came as Pamunkey Regional Library was already rolling out other June family programming in Goochland. Its Summer Reading Kickoff Party on June 9 featured balloon creations and Kona Ice, underscoring how quickly the early-summer calendar can shift for families moving from one branch event to the next.
Pamunkey Regional Library said the Dinosaurs Rock shows had been rescheduled and directed patrons to check the calendar for new dates and times. Families with questions can call Goochland Branch Library at (804) 556-4774, and patrons with special physical or communication needs can reach the system at ask@pamunkeylibrary.org.
With branches in Goochland, Montpelier, Rockville, Atlee, Hanover, Ashland and Mechanicsville, the library’s children’s programming stretches across a wide local area. For anyone planning a branch visit, the safest move is to confirm the calendar before leaving the house, because this dinosaur tour has already shifted once across the region.
