Alright guys,
It has been a horridly long time since we have posted here on our blog and the time has come for us to put our proverbial foot down and say, “No more!” The goal is to post once a week every Thursday in the hopes that it will allow you to be up to date on the goings on in our library and around the community. We hope you enjoy and please feel free to request topics, and hopefully we’ll get a video post or two up pretty soon as well. Enjoy!
For the remainder of January – bravo to the new year and happy belated Chinese New year as well by the way – we will be finishing off the month with our regular Monday Movie Matinee at 5:30. Please feel free to bring your kids along with din din (light movie refreshments, i.e. POPCORN will be served) and enjoy a free movie on the library,at the library, with the library! Woo!
We also have a new program to present to you on the 3rd Monday of every month, instead of Movie Mondays we will be hosting a special program called “Paws to Read”. This wonderful program allows children to sign up for fifteen minute slots and read to special puppies who have come to listen to them. It’s a great way to encourage shy readers to start branching out and reading to audiences, it is a wonderful way to help struggling readers move forward as they spend time with a fluffy friend and, personally, I can’t think of a better way to end my evening than to sit next to a warm, soft, fuzzy animal and read a good book. Maybe a cup of tea would be nice. And some popcorn…but I digress. (Please note that children must sign up for this program in a specific time slot. You may call the library for more details.)
Coming up in February, we will be hosting two special programs in honor of Black History Month. Join us on the 13th and 20th. More info to come.
Per usual the library still hosts our weekly Friday Family Story times in the morning (ages 1-5, no registration required) at 10:30, but we also have two new story time programs every Tuesday and Wednesday, also at 10:30. The Tuesday program is for our “Busy B’s” – a lap-sit story time that is designed for caregivers to interact with babies and toddlers. You must register for this program. The Wednesday program is our “Sweet P’s” program that is focused on early literary skills for preschool aged children. Our wonderful Youth Services Librarian, Christy, will interact with your child using books, songs, finger plays, activities and crafts that help support the skills essential for building a strong reading foundation. Again, you must register for this program.
That’s all for now folks, stay tuned for more Thursday Spiels, have a wonderful and pleasant weekend!

Paws to Read sounds like a great project. I hope it works out.

Thank you for your comment! We had our first Paws to Read program on the 23rd and it was wonderful! The dogs were great and the kids loved it!
