Storytime in January featured snow. Parents and children made snowflakes out of coffee filters which we then displayed in our front windows. As with real snowflakes, no two were alike.
Cindy, our reference librarian, hosted our first teen You + Me = Wii gaming event. Eight teens attended and had lots of fun playing Wii Sports, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Guitar Hero. Future events will likely include Dance Dance Revolution. You + Me = Wii events will be held every first and third Saturday.
I did an adult program at Columbia Lakes for The Daughters of 1812 & Colonial Dames. I told them about the history of storytelling and even included some stories. They all enjoyed it, and I enjoyed the lunch I was invited to share. Thank you, ladies, for inviting me!
The Readers Circle for Grades 1-3 discussed “Many Moons” by James Thurber and charted the changes in the moon for one month. Our next book will be “Sam and the Tigers” by Julius Lester.
Bookaneers for Grades 4-6 read a variety of books on heroes, both fictional and historical. They discussed what makes a hero and whether they had ever done anything heroic. For February, we’re reading “Johnny Tremain” by Esther Forbes.
Lots of events are planned for February including crafts and a “Group Hug” of the library building.
We are planning a Fancy Nancy Fashion Show and our media swap for March. In conjunction with the Brazosport Symphony League’s presentation of “Fun with Tubby the Tuba,” we are planning a Tubby the Tuba storytime in March. This will feature musical accompaniment.
Susan, children's librarian
