Children's Update: Manvel

Because of our move to a new location, preschool storytime attendance has suffered. We certainly hope that changes. Those who did find us enjoyed stories about rodeos and horses.

Teen Read has dropped off, too. But we discussed the latest Harry Potter movie and the Twilight series at our last meeting.

Seven teens attended our duct tape craft program. We made ID and cell phone holders. One of the teens was even motivated to enter the prom dress scholarship contest.

Another teen program we hosted was Fast Food True/False. We set the room up like a game show, and the participants had to answer questions about various fast foods and restaurants. We had lots of fun.

More than 90 people crowded in the library to see Captain Jack Sparrow. Everyone loved the program. The petting zoo drew almost as many people as Captain Jack. Baby cows, horses and goats were brought, and the children loved being able to touch them. We had a large crowd at Julian Franklin’s Wild West Show, too. Fun was had by all.

Our new location is 20514B Hwy 6 in Manvel. We're now right on the side of the highway and can't be missed!
