Chesapeake Public Library schedules Dizzy Con for Aug. 7

Chesapeake Public Library will host Dizzy Con from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7, 2026, on the Main Floor of Central Library.

The afternoon program is intended for preschool and school-age children and their families. It is inspired by Bedtime Stories with Dizzy, the library’s series centered on its mascot, Dizzy.

Storytelling and creative activity

The library describes Dizzy Con as a celebration of imagination, creativity and community. Its announcement places the program within the library’s children’s offerings, using the mascot and the Bedtime Stories with Dizzy series as the basis for the event’s activities.

The event is a family-focused cultural gathering rather than a standard library service. Its intended audience includes both preschool children and school-age children, with their families invited to participate in the Central Library program.

For the library, the Aug. 7 event creates a scheduled setting for storytelling and participatory activity tied to a children’s program already associated with Dizzy. The announced emphasis on imagination and creativity identifies the purpose of the gathering, while the inclusion of families makes the program broader than an activity limited to one age group.

What has been announced

The published notice provides a two-hour time window and identifies the Main Floor of Central Library as the venue. It also identifies the program’s audience and its connection to Dizzy and Bedtime Stories with Dizzy.

The available notice does not provide a full activity lineup, state whether registration is required or identify expected attendance. It also does not say whether food, costumes or take-home materials will be provided. Families seeking those details will need to rely on any further information released by the library before the event.

A separate library program

Dizzy Con is distinct from Make and Take, another Chesapeake Public Library program listed for Aug. 3, 2026. Make and Take is a craft program scheduled at Russell Memorial Library, 2808 Taylor Road, in Chesapeake.

The library categorizes Make and Take under arts and culture and early learning. It has a different date and location from Dizzy Con and is not identified as part of the Aug. 7 Central Library event.

As announced, Dizzy Con is scheduled to run Friday afternoon for two hours, bringing preschool and school-age children and their families together around the library’s Dizzy-based storytelling and creative programming.
