Attendance at preschool storytime has been steady throughout the summer. The children have enjoyed our Texas-themed stories. We’re also adding to a mural each week, and that has been steadily growing as the weeks pass.
The Monopoly Tournament had 25 people attend. Several of the participants have played in all three tournaments. Our winner, who has won the previous two years, made it a three-peat this year when he won again. Another player proved that persistence pays off and finally made it to the top six playoff in the third year of playing in the tournament. Eventually, the player came in third.
Crafts for seven to 12 year olds have been quite successful. They’ve made a variety of products, including magnets and scratch-off pictures. Upcoming crafts will be pouches and coin holders.
Several daycares attend our professional programs on Thursdays.
Our summer reading club has already surpassed last year’s in the number of children who have joined. Lots of people are coming with their grandparents and friends, as well as parents.
The junior volunteers are a big help. They staff the reading club sign-up desk, shelve picture books and help with programs. They receive a t-shirt as a volunteer, and they’re also given small items every week they work. We’re so grateful to our volunteers. Thank you all for your help!
