Winter/Spring Story Time starts up

Story Time resumed on Tuesday, January 7 at 9:30 a.m.
Story Time will continue with the theme-“What Can We Dewey In the Library”, during the winter/spring session, learning about the Dewey Decimal system and the different kinds of nonfiction children’s books at the Library.
In 2020 we will be doing things differently in winter/spring session. Story Time will go from January through the end of April and then we will take the month of May off to prepare for the Summer Reading Program.
We will also have one or more guest readers for three weeks at the end of January and first of February. Be sure to come and welcome our guest reader.
In the past we have discontinued Story Time in March but I find it’s too hard for kids to get in the habit of coming back when the weather warms up so we will see if we can have a more consistent attendance scheduling Story Time this way.

Story Time resumes Tuesday, Sept. 3

“For many years Story Time has been on Monday’s at 11:30 to accommodate first Kindergarten and then Pre-K children who were in either morning or afternoon classes,” said Assistant Librarian Sandy Helm. “Since Pre-K is all day starting this year we took the opportunity to make the changes so it will be easier for younger children to attend.”
The theme for the Sept. 5 program will be Grandparents. The craft activity is an opportunity for children to make a gift and a card for their Grandparents for Grandparents Day on Sunday, September 10.
Other programs scheduled throughout the fall will feature Cats, Apples, Autumn, No Bullying, Origami, Halloween, Honoring Veterans, Book Awards and Thanksgiving.
