Children's Update: Pearland

We have had large crowds this summer for our preschool storytimes. More than 400 people attended our July storytimes. We made ABC dough figures, paper treasure chests, paper camp fires and cardboard pinwheels.

Teen Henna was a lot of fun. Two of the teens had such a great time that they even got their older siblings and mother to go with to the Teen Henna event in Alvin.

We have had more than 150 people come to our summer reading programs. We made crafts for July 4 and created fans. One of the children at the fan craft was only interested in mixing the paints; she was not interested in painting.

Ruby Lewis presented a program with the Sea Center Texas Trunk. The children were able to touch live water creatures and make fish prints. Everyone also got a unique shell.

Our teen volunteers are getting tired. They help with summer reading club, assist with programs, shelve picture books and juvenile fiction and help out where needed. Thank you to all the volunteers!
