During preschool storytime in July, we learned about women in the Wild West, turtles and snakes, coyotes, and cowboys and rodeos. We made paper bonnets, foam bowl turtles, abstract art coyotes, and bull masks.
Only a few people showed up for the paper jewelry craft program for teens. Those that attended however got to experiment with lots of different materials and techniques. We made beads out of magazine ads, newspaper comic strips, wrapping paper and wall paper.
Andrew, a volunteer, had his duct tape creations – including a dragon! – on display at the library this summer. He also taught two duct tape craft classes where people learned to make wallets, bookmarks and flowers out of duct tape. More than 30 people attended the classes. Thank you, Andrew!
Dawn Grimes’ line dance program was lots of fun. Children and adults learned several dance routines they performed with only a few missteps. Thank you to the Friends for sponsoring this program.
The Texas Three Step variety show drew small but lively audiences. Lots of giggling could be heard.
Ruby Lewis and her turtles, snakes and other critters was very popular. Most of the children enjoyed handling the animals. Some preferred to watch the show through the safety of the glass windows in the hall.
Someone dropped off two display spinners on our loading dock during the July 4 holiday. We’re going to fix them up to hold DVDs in the children’s area. Thank you, anonymous donor!
Susan, children's librarian
