Preschool storytimes in February featured numerous stories about hugs and kisses. Parents and children made a “hug card” for Valentine’s Day using the children’s hands as templates. We finished the month with stories declaring no more hugs and no more kisses.
Storytimes in March will feature musical stories. On March 24, there will be a special preview of the upcoming concert “Tubby the Tuba” by Philip Walker and members of the Brazosport Symphony League.
The You + Me = Wii gaming program continues to attract teens to the library. The program continues in March.
Love Your Library was the theme for February. Events included a “Tell Us Why You Love Our Library” contest for adults and children with the winners receiving boxes of candy.
The heavy rains put a damper on the planned “group hug” around the library on Valentine’s Day, but 45 people visited the craft tables set up in the library. Thanks to H.E.B. and Walmart for providing refreshments, and thanks to the Friends for providing craft kits and materials.
As part of their annual membership drive, the Friends of the Library held a Sweetheart Raffle. The winner received an overnight stay and breakfast from Cherotel, dinner for two from Johnny Carino’s, flowers from Carriage Flowers & Gifts, and movie tickets for two from Brazos Stadium 14. Thanks to all the local businesses that support the Friends!
The Readers Circle for Grades 1-3 read and discussed Sam and the Tigers by Julius Lester. We made a dangling tiger craft. In March, readers have a choice of several books with leprechauns as the main character.
The Bookaneers read and discussed the historical novel Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes. We also discussed some of the real-life characters they had learned about in history class. In March, we’ll read Punished by David Lubar.
A Fancy Nancy Fashion Show is planned for March 14. Registration and entry forms are available at the library.
Applications for Summer Student Aides will be accepted March 9 through March 27.
The third Media Swap is scheduled for March 18 during Spring Break. Items to be swapped must be brought to the library between March 9 and March 13.
