Children's Update: Sweeny

We had a special visitor the first week of preschool storytime as Lotta Buttons the clown visited and read to the children. Then we had a special storytime for Grandparent’s Day. The last half of the month was about when I grow up and what children could be when they become adults. We told stories about being a teacher, firefighter, and wrapped it up with all kinds of choices.

Toddler Time themes were up, down and opposites.

Teen Book Club had four in attendance, and we discussed “The Hound of Rowan” by Henry H. Neff. Everyone liked the book and was ready for the sequel. We are reading “Wicked Lovely” by Melissa Marr this month.

Bedtime Stories was about houses.

We had a special craft of making grandparent’s day cards for Sweeny House.

Kid’s Club had a spy day. We had a laser maze to crawl through, a disguise contest, targeting bad guys and a treasure hunt with clues.

In October, our preschool storytime themes are princes and princesses, knights and ladies, kings and castles, and a medieval dress up party the end of the month.

Kid’s club will be doing arachnids with a guest speaker and craft.

We received a bilingual Charlie rug for the children’s area, a new table and chairs in toddler size, and a new rack to hang our book cassette bags on. We also got a new computer desk for the children’s computer.
