Tuesday brought young artists to the Children’s Library to once again express their artistic talents! Keeping with the Unearth a Story theme, the kids painted dinosaurs on canvas book bags. Now let’s fill those bags with books and keep READING!

Many got away but Ms Kim managed to capture a few photos

We sure had fun making Shrinky Dink Dinosaurs today! Not everyone made a dinosaur keyring. Many used their artistic abilities to create their own design.

Start Training – The annual Frog Jump!

Story Hour

Don’t forget, Wednesday mornings, 10:30 a.m. – Storytime for the littles. Songs, stories and a simple craft with Ms Kim.

School is out! Summer is officially here! Why not stop by the library to pick up a book and

UNEARTH A STORY!

This year the theme of the Collaborative Summer Library Program is Unearth a Story. Visit the library, dig through the collection and discover adventure, mystery, history, science and the pure joy of reading!

Kids are invited to join Ms Kim in the Children’s Library for weekly story hour and craft programs (many featuring DINOSAURS!). A special dinosaur hunt is planned for later in the season and don’t forget about the fabulous Frog Jump in July! Check out the Spring into Summer link for details as received.

Tuesday afternoon we’ll be making Shrinky dink dinosaurs. Give Ms Kim a call to let her know you’re planning to attend- 609-859-9002 or 609-859-3598.

Come out to cheer on your favorite furry friend this Saturday!

Continuing…

May is such a busy time of the year. And it’s a very busy time at the library! Here are just a few events to add to your schedule.

Fun for Family and Furry Friends

It’s never too soon to start training for the Barks for Books Dog Show!

Writers Workshop Extended!

The Annual Backyard Event

Fun for the Family and Furry Friends!

AND…

And Ms Kim is getting ready with the Annual Summer Backyard Event! This year should be a regular party – Clowns, a bounce house, face painting and more. Get the lawn chairs or blankets out and reserve your space!

Ms Kim has been encouraging our young authors to start writing their first novel in a Weekly Writers Workshop. This week a local author, Gene J. Miller, has been invited to talk about his experience writing for kids.

Everyone’s invited, so if you’ve been seriously thinking about writing and publishing your own book, come out and join the fun! It’s sure to be interesting.

Finally! It’s been a rough winter! Hopefully, now we can put all that ice and snow out of our minds and look ahead to warmer temperatures. It’s time to admire the color and beauty of spring: daffodils, tulips, hyacinths, cherry and dogwood blossoms. Time to think about playing outside and gardening! Or, sitting outside with a good book in the sun and just relaxing.

Be sure to stop by the library to say hello and check out a book for that relaxing read outdoors. And, while there check out the beautifully restored floors and fixtures.

In the Children’s Library Miss Kim has been thinking about the summer reading kickoff and the Memorial Day Parade. This summer the theme is Unearth a Story which automatically makes you think of DINOSAURS! So of course she is looking for dinosaur volunteers between ages 1-100 to join the library in the parade. Give her a call (609-859-9002) if your young Tyrannosaurus rex or Brachiosaurus are interested.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
