Our February program for kids will be a double treat. First, we will be honoring the 200 anniversary of President Lincoln's birth with our craft. Second, we will be unveiling all 70 of our brand new children's books received from the Libri grant.

The fun begins at the library at 6:00 P.M., and includes stories, craft, and a snack. Register at the library by Friday, February 13th. Cost is still only $1.00 for each participant. Suitable for grades K-5.

The heroes trumped all on Tuesday, October 21st, as 16 children participated in the Halloween program. With two Super Girls, Spider-man, two Power Rangers, and Bumblebee (the Transformer), Princess Ariel and the library staff were safe from the likes of the green skeleton, the vicious pirate girl, and the friendly spider.
Children created scary wind socks and listened to Carolyn Crimi's Boris and Bella and Dav Pilkey's Hallo-wIener.
What will next month bring? Probably not nearly the assortment of heroes and heroines, but definitely fun.
Expect pictures soon.
