Extreme Makeover - Storytime Room Edition

Yellow? Green? What is with all that color? Our storytime room has gotten a makeover. Gone is the drab, boring cream color. Our librarians mulled over hundreds of color choices and we all finally agreed upon Viking Yellow and Lucky Charm Green and wow are they bright and cheery!!

Check out the before and after photos below:

Parents and kids, stop by and see our newly painted room. Better yet, sign up Storytime for Tots or Preschool Storytime and spend a fun-filled 30 minutes in the room each week while listening to stories, watching a filmstrip and singing and dancing! Registration for both classes begins December 13th.

We hope to see you all soon!

It's Crystal Clear!

by guest blogger and library fish extraordinaire, Gordon Bob Splash

I can see! I can see! That's right. Not only did my tank get a fabulous upgrade the past few months including a brand new filter and a cool swim-through log, but my water is super-sparkly clear. Did you notice how colorful my fins are? I look marvelous! Of course, I always knew that kids were having fun here at the library, but for a while there things were a bit hazy. Now, (thanks to Miss Amy), I can clearly see all the wonderful things happening in the Children's Room.

First, I saw our librarians helping kids with their school research assignments and projects. They are especially helpful with book reports (my least favorite) since they seem like they've read almost everything. And when the schoolwork is done, I've seen our kids create some fantastic crafts such as the Egyptian arti-fact craft, and Lego club creations. I just peeked at our winter newsletter and you wouldn't believe what's in store during those cold and drab winter months. Things will really be heating up in the Children's Room. I can't wait!

I'll be (clearly) seeing you!

All in a Day's Work

Today is Cliché Day! For those of you who don’t know what that is, here’s a definition:
an expression that has been used so often it loses its freshness and meaning.

We all use clichés from time to time (see!), they can be fun! Try to use as many as you can today. You'll be surprised how many you know. A word to the wise: to make a long story short, don’t put off until tomorrow what you can do today. You never know unless you try—that is, if you can get a word in edgewise….

And a huge thank you to our wonderful teen volunteers who helped decorate the Children’s Room for Halloween with their delightful pumpkins!!
