There’s a lot happening at the library and in town this month – Check out the October Events Calendar!

Stitchin’ with Sally was such a success we’re having afternoon and evening sessions (10/6 & 10/20)!

Vincent Fire Company and Miss Marsha will be giving a special Fire Prevention Week presentation to the Wednesday story hour group (10/12)! 

The Vincentown Garden Club is reviving a tradition:   The Vincentown Antiques Show

*Be sure to check the Children’s Events link for changes to the story hour schedule*

The show, highlighting local scenes by local artists, is hung throughout the library thus taking advantage of the beautiful architecture of the historic building located in the quaint village of Vincentown.

This year more than 25 artists will be showing and selling their works in oils, watercolor, acrylics and other media.

The public is invited to browse and purchase then join us for light refreshment.   A portion of the proceeds benefit the library.

Yikes!  Sixteen kids today for watercolors!

Most of the children took their works of art home to show off but a few agreed to leave them behind for drying.

Thanks to all the Moms and Grand-moms for helping!

We’ve been having fun on Thursdays inside and outside the Children’s Library!  So far we’ve made firefly jars, bubble wands (regular and giant) and clay owls.

Next week…We’ll get messy with Mod Podge!

Hundreds of lightning bugs fill the sky during the month of July.

Join us this Thursday to talk about the “firefly” and make a glowing firefly jar!

Be sure to let us know if you’ll be coming!

I stopped today at our Butterfly garden and noticed that one of the parsley plants had been totally devoured.  We have  visitors to our garden – it’s so exciting!

Fairy Houses!

Last Thursday we went searching for fairy houses – look what we found!

We found about 8 houses behind the library, around the schoolhouse and along the creek area.

 This Thursday children created fairy houses to put into their own gardens (under shelter).  We had a great time- the houses were beautiful.

Surely they’ll all be quickly occupied!

Planting the Butterfly Garden

Our butterfly garden was planted behind the Children’s Library today (Tuesday).  We’re hoping the fat caterpillar we found on the fennel plant will become a beautiful butterfly.

Tomorrow- story hour at 10:30 and Lego for Little Guys at 1:30.

Thursday, June 30th.- we’ll begin searching for Fairy Houses near the library.  Call to let us know if you’re coming!

Let summer begin!

We’re moving into summer programs beginning Tuesday with a two part program: “Butterflies ” (ages 6-up).  Come learn all about butterflies, start your butterfly mobile and help us plan and plant a butterfly garden behind the library!

Wednesday story hour continues with the letter “U” and Little Guy Lego (ages 4-6).

Thursday “Lets get cooking” with Miss Barbara and Miss Ally of Hainesport ShopRite (ages 6-up).

Be sure to call the library to register.  Space is limited for cooking programs!
