Preschool storytime continues to be fun for all who attend. We read books with the themes of Deck the Halls, Snowmen, Reindeer, Santa Claus and Happy New Year. We decorated ice cream cone trees, made snowman ornaments and Santa puppets, and had a new year celebration with homemade party hats and instruments.
Yolanda and I represented the library at Holiday on the Brazos. More than 200 children made an ornament to take home. Craft Day with Mrs. Claus was another success. More than 100 children registered. The children visited the different centers throughout the library. All 108 children received a very nice hardback book thanks to our grant from Walmart. This is such a great community event. Children do all kinds of activities. I staff the center where they decorate cookies with globs of icing, sprinkles, etc. Children come from all the surrounding communities.
Sherry is a grandmother for the first time. She went to visit her granddaughter, Claudia Marie, during her vacation.

Children's Update: Freeport
The Freeport children are having the pleasure of different storytellers each week during preschool storytime. Dawn did one storytime six people. That was her last storytime as she has accepted a teaching position. The staff and the children will miss her.
Sherry presented a pumpkin theme. She had six people in attendance. She cut open a pumpkin for all to see and feel, and then each child decorated a mini-pumpkin to take home.
Yolanda had a storytime dealing with leaves. The children identified leaves and trees. She also brought real leaves for a craft. She had 11 people attending two storytimes.
Marge had a fun-type Halloween theme featuring songs, stories and guessing games. It ended with the puppet play “A Caring Sharing Halloween.” Yolanda helped present the show. Everyone seemed to have a good time. More than 20 people came to this program. We performed it in the children’s area because of early voting.
Marge went to Memorial Day Care as a judge for their fall wall decoration contest. It was a difficult job but fun!
Until a replacement is found for Dawn, we will be taking turns doing preschool storytimes. Another puppet play is scheduled for November. The children really enjoy the puppet plays.
There was a cauldron of goodies that were passed out to children who came to the library on Halloween.

Our preschool storytimes in February featured books about Valentine’s Day, mothers and love. We made special Valentine’s cards for the important people in our lives. We also presented a silly felt board story that had the children howling with laughter.

Children's Update: Freeport
Storytimes in December covered lots of holiday fun. Sixty-five people joined us. Themes included Jingle Bells, Rudolph Shines Again, Tree Trimming and Ring In the New Year. We made wooden Santas, wooden Christmas trees and a construction paper Christmas tree. For the new year, we threw a party and ate lots of goodies.
Holiday on the Brazos was such a hit! It was very cold, but this did not stop people from coming. We made Christmas tree ornaments and drank hot chocolate. We also served popcorn and fudge. Our table was a success, with 250 people visiting.
Craft Day with Mrs. Claus, sponsored by The Friends of the Freeport Library, had a great turnout, as well. Each of the 115 children who attended received a book, an ornament, cookies and much more. Thank you to the Friends for sponsoring this wonderful event!
