Children's Update: Alvin

Storytime was lots of fun throughout December. More than 100 people enjoyed books, crafts and activities about elephants, pajamas, winter holidays and the new year. We even enjoyed milk and cookies and played balloon volleyball.

Our Winter Holiday Craft Day was a great success. Forty-two people came to work on crafts for the various holidays, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa and winter.

We accepted some paper bags from Alvin Elementary. Fifth-graders at the school have formed a literacy program. They provided us with paper bags donated to them by Target. On the bags they have drawn images from the Bluebonnet books and written information about the books. Patrons are encouraged to return the bags to the library for others to use. Thank you to the fifth-grade literacy program at Alvin Elementary!

We are planning a Valentine’s Craft Day program for February.
