We’re gearing up for summer reading club! We’ve been decorating the library and talking to people about our events for all ages. We’re going to be offering a Toddler Time before our weekly preschool storytimes. We’re even starting a Teen Book Club this summer. Simple Simon’s has agreed to sponsor the club by providing the pizza. Thank you to Simple Simon’s!
Lots of students from Sweeny Elementary have toured the library. We read a story to them and told them all about the programs planned for the summer. We can’t wait to see them come back to sign up for the summer reading club.

Children's Update: Manvel
Summer reading club is coming! We’re prepared and ready for all the children in Manvel to come to the terrific events we have planned.
I was asked to participate in Children’s Book Week at E.C. Mason Elementary. They had guest readers coming throughout the day, and I was lucky enough to get to read to two classes of second graders. I even got to put a star up on the Wall of Fame.

Here comes summer reading! We have lots of fun events planned this summer. The Official Hasbro MONOPOLY Tournament for Teens is June 20.
With the help of the librarian from Polk Elementary, I recorded my summer reading club presentation. It was then shown at two other elementary schools.
The City of Clute purchased the staff’s summer reading club T-shirts which we will be wearing all summer long. Thanks to the City!
During the summer, day cares who wish to attend preschool storytime are encouraged to call the library first. We can arrange a special early storytime just for your group.

Children's Update: Brazoria
The hermit crabs are coming back to the library! We can’t wait for everyone to come say “hi” to our favorite summer creatures. Along with the hermit crabs, we’ll also have all kinds of Texas decorations and a June bride display.

We’re kicking summer off with our variety show, Texas Three Step: The Good, the Bad and the Funny. We’ll also have live animals, rope making, and fun science and math. Learn to line dance or eat grub from a cattle drive.
I visited Career Day at Wild Peach Elementary. I spoke to kindergarteners, first graders and second graders about how I became a children’s specialist. I read a book to each class and told them about summer reading club, too.

Children's Update: Sweeny
We focused on flying high during March preschool storytimes. We made kites and other crafts, but the highlight was blowing bubbles behind the library. The children had a great time, and the staff enjoyed trying out the bubbles before the program began. April will feature wiggly tales, and some turtles will be coming for a visit.
Kids' Club was a great success! We built kites and then went across the street to see the big kites fly. Everyone had a wonderful time. Next month, we're having slithery specimens.
We are preparing for National Library Week and will have lots of goodies to give away. We'll also have a display.
The Sweeny Christian School brought their first through fifth graders for a tour.
I spoke at Career Day at Sweeny Junior High. I used the opportunity to show the students some of the new books we have. I also asked what kinds of programs they would like to see at the library, and we hope to implement some of those ideas.
We are having a special Native American Crafts event on April 29. We also have a display to celebrate the PBS documentary series "We Shall Remain." The display has gotten a lot of attention.
Summer reading club is planned, and we're working on programs for August.

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.
