Develop the summer reading habit

Great Schools offers ten easy tips for inspiring children to make reading a part of everyday life, even during hot weather. http://www.greatschools.org/students/homework-help/summer-reading.gs?content=67

 

New! Youth Computer Station

Visit a quiet corner of our sunny children's room to play (and learn) with two software games: Ghost Hunters (a "find it" game for the older set) and (for the younger crowd) Dr. Seuss Preschool: Green Eggs & Ham and Reader Rabbit: The Great Alphabet Race. Each of the games encourages reading, listening and vocabulary growth. Best of all, they are engrossing enough to allow parents some time alone to search the stacks or explore the world using our nearby public access computers.

  • THE TALE OF PENNIES FOR PAGES -- Junior Girl Scout Troop 54066 (which met in our library) spent a school year encouraging patrons to fill huge jars with pennies. The now-disbanded troop  presented the librarian with $101.03 worth of pennies--converted into a lightweight check--on June 4, 2009, during its final meeting. Later, several of the girls met with our librarian to make book selections. Troop members were: Morgan Hartley, Star Heffner, Caitlin Kolick, Sierra Lee, Dakota Staley and Rebecca Staley, led by Toni Hartley and Claire Kolick.

    Cupcake Decorating Contest
