Children's Update: Sweeny

About 14 children came to preschool storytime every week in July. They crafted and sang, in addition to listening to stories. We had a big camp-out at the end of the month and ate hot dogs around our pretend camp fire.

Seven teens came to the Teen Book Club. We’re reading “A Separate Peace” by John Knowles. They also enjoyed playing Dance Dance Revolution and eating pizza.

Toddler time, which we have every week before preschool storytime, continues to be popular. We have about six children visit every week.

We had six people at our bedtime stories this month, too.

Kids Campus continues their weekly visits until school begins. The children enjoy listening to the being read aloud to them one chapter at a time. About 18 children come for each visit.

We are getting back to our school year schedule in August. Kid’s Club will return on August 19 with a Back To School Splash with water fun.

We set a branch goal to have 200 children and teens sign up for summer reading club. We were thrilled to pass that! We’ll have to set a higher goal next year.

Our juvenile circulation statistics are great. We’ve seen more nonfiction and biographies checking out which we attribute to our increase in displays.
