Christmas, pets, trains and trees were our themes for preschool storytime. New visitors came for the first time. The children had great fun and were very attentive for the readings. The train mesmerized all, very entertaining. In January, we are discussing time, cold weather clothes and snow.
LIFE/HCS attended a movie on December 16. Sixteen adults were provided popcorn and drinks. Lots of compliments for providing entertainment for the group.
Vickie was welcomed back with staff support. Clarissa had a wonderful time in Hawaii.

Children's Update: Angleton
Our new teen Wii program has found initial success and will continue as a regular monthly Saturday program.
Saturday Family Movie attendance has continued to be high even though school has started. Even some of our adult patrons are making it in for the movie. Kidz Kraft is also maintaining its attendance, despite being an evening program for youngsters.
ECC has resumed their monthly visits and their October visit was hugely enjoyed by Miss Emmy.
Emma Lou attended the joint children’s meeting in Angleton and found the event to be very informative and enjoyable. Halloween holiday books are on display this month and are getting good circulation.

Preschool storytime is using the Everyday Day in Every Way curriculum this year. In September, storytime themes were self-esteem and the five senses. In October, the weekly themes will be friends, feelings, fall and Halloween.
Our first Teen Wii event brought twenty-two people to the library. They did not want to leave. We are trying the next one on a Saturday morning to see which time is better. In December, we will try it on week night.
Sixteen people attended the Family Movie Day.
Angleton Christian School (ACS) has scheduled to bring classes to the library. A group of seventh and eighth grade students from ACS came September 22. Miss Emmy demonstrated how to use the library catalog and Internet. She then helped them get started on science fair projects.
The Early Childhood Center will start bringing classes the second Tuesday of each month beginning in October.
Miss Emmy is reading ghost stories to the Retired Teachers Association on October 2.
The next Kids Kraft will be October 6. We are making balloon eyeballs and spiders.
Family Movie Day will be October 24.
Teen Wii will be on October 31.

Teen movies are being shown every Friday through July 17. Free popcorn and drinks are provided.
Several daycares have joined us for our programs throughout the summer.

The children’s coordinator is providing us with special storytimes on Wednesday afternoons throughout July and August. The programs will incorporate math and science concepts for young children.

We're still working our way through the alphabet during our preschool storytimes.
Pajama storytime participants got a surprise in March. Ruby Lewis brought a live hognosed snake and read books about snakes. The snake, on loan from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, really entertained the children. Thank you to Ms. Lewis for working on this program!
Emma Lou conducted a special program with a local Boy Scout troop visiting the library. She showed how to conduct research using the microfilm machine. The troop enjoyed their visit, and we hope to have them back again.
Our Saturday family movie event was an enormous success. We had double the usual attendance, and everyone left full of popcorn. We're looking forward to increased attendance over the course of the summer.
