One hundred thirty-five people came to our preschool storytimes this month. We discussed libraries and told stories, sang songs, and read a poem about the library. The children got to make their own bookmark. To help celebrate Grandparents’ Day, we listened to stories about grandparents. The children made cards to send to their grandparents. For our apples storytime, we talked about the different kinds of apples and all the things you can make with them. For the craft we made a worm coming out of an apple puppet. The next week we sang songs, read stories and celebrated fall. We glued fall colored leaves in a pile on a piece of construction paper. Finally, we exercised. We had a lot of fun reading about exercise. We had a color sheet of a hippo running for the craft.
Five teens attended the Teen Read meetings this month, and we even got a new member. We had a good discussion on some new books, as well as some old favorites. At our next meeting, we talked about books that are being turned into movies and which ones we were looking forward to seeing.
We also had five teens at our PlayDoh Sculptionary event. We had a lively game where the kids formed teams and sculpted the clues out of PlayDoh. We followed the rules of Pictionary. It was a lot of fun.
Unfortunately, no one came to our pajama night storytime. We hope we have an audience next month.
Three children were at our craft time. We made stained glass bookmarks out of construction paper and tissue paper. The children had a lot of fun.
Tiger Scouts from Troop 488, Den 1 and Den 9 visited the library for a lesson on the Dewey Decimal System. I gave them a tour around the children’s area and showed them examples of how the Dewey Decimal System works. They had a good time, and many of them got library cards before they left.
