Our storytime themes in December focused on sharing. We shared books and made paper quilts, paper stars and cinnamon dough cookie ornaments. We also shared cookies. In January, we’ll be reading stories about snow, snowmen, snowballs and winter clothing.
The Reader’s Circle for Grades 1-3 discussed Doreen Cronin’s “Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type.” Our next book will be “Many Moons” by James Thurber, one of my favorites.
The Bookaneers Book Club for Grades 4-6 enjoyed reading “Chocolate Fever” by Robert Kimmel Smith. For January, participants should decide what they think makes a hero. Then, they can choose any book about a hero, real or fictional.
Our Friends president, Alice Royalty, and her husband decorated the library’s Christmas tree. Thanks to the two of them!
We recognized our volunteers with an afternoon of hot wassail, warm treats from the oven and hot wax treatments for their hands. Thanks for all the hard work!
We are busy finalizing plans for a new teen program called You + Me = Wii. Cindy, our reference librarian, will be hosting games on the first and third Saturday of the month, beginning January 24. The Friends purchased a Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 for the library. Clerk Diane’s son, Zac, designed a logo for the group. Thank you to the Friends for equipment and to Zac for the logo!
Susan, children's librarian
