4th of July

On this day, 4 July 1776, the 13 colonies claimed their independence from England, an event which eventually led to the formation of the United States. Each year on July 4th, also know as Independence Day, Americans celebrate this historic event.

...but of course, what's a holiday without a holiday themed storytime with Ms. Debi?! Ms. Debi read 4th of July themed books; sang familiar songs; and provided the kids with a fun Uncle Sam mask to create and wear.

Unfortunately the library branches were closed for the holiday; however, we are now back open and still celebrating the holiday throughout the branch.

Drum roll please...

On Saturday, 11 June 2016 we had a special visitor who helped us out during our storytime! Can you take a guess on who that special guest was?

CHICO! Chico and his friends came to visit us, read to us, enjoy Ms. Debi's readings, and assist with crafts. Afterwards, we found Chico roaming around the library looking for books to check out.

After Chico's visit, we also had a special performance by Mauricio who brought along all of his drums. Mauricio gave a brief demonstration and lesson and then allowed everyone to play along joining in on a huge drumming session.

Storytime Fun

Storytime is a time where children have the opportunity to be read to by a Librarian regarding all sorts of fun themes. 

Can you guess the theme for the storytime pictured above?!

You guessed it! The ZOO!!!

Ms. Debi sang silly songs, read fun books about the zoo, and ended with a cute mask for everyone to create. 

Our library hosts storytime 4x per week all beginning at 11AM, and following storytime, come check out up to 30 books from our wide selection.
