Children's Update: Pearland

Our preschool storytimes focused on party and spring themes. We had more than 100 people come to the storytimes. We made door hangers or bookmarks, baby chick paper hats, and flowers.

Patrons often ask where I get my craft ideas. I find them in library books, magazines, my son's old school crafts, crafts from my own childhood and the Internet.

We have teen programs planned for this summer including Teen Henna and Dance Dance Revolution.

We have a Kite Making and Flying Event scheduled for April 8. Richard Hawkins will be back. Thank you to Mr. Hawkins for all his work on this program!

We are having a big 2009-2010 Texas Bluebonnet Book Festival on April 15. Pearland ISD students, teachers and librarians, as well as a children's acting troupe and guest readers are coming. We'll have book talks, readings, reader's theatre, a mock vote and refreshments. The event was planned by Sylvia, our reference librarian, and funded by a Target Community Grant.

We are finalizing plans for the summer reading club.

We are so excited to be open again! Our patrons have been so thankful. We get so many nice comments. We have hired three new shelvers and are training them.
