Children's Update: Alvin

More than eighty people attended preschool storytimes this month. We talked about dinosaurs, manners, hats, autumn and exercise. We had quite a workout during our exercise storytime and made construction-paper hats during the hats storytime.

Teen Gamers Guild has regular attendance now that everyone is back from vacations.

Alvin Elementary special needs class came in for a tour.

We will have a movie night on October 8 and a Fall Extravaganza on October 29.

We are rearranging furniture in all areas of the Alvin Library.

And, now, an anecdote:

I had a conversation with a young patron while her mother was getting a library card one day. The two of us talked about the books she chose, and she said, “Oh and by the way, you have really cool books!”

When she went to check out the books, she told the clerk, “You don’t have to go to school to learn. You can just come to the library!”

It’s moments like these that remind you how important the library is to people.
