Welcoming Library

This month in the Children's Room, we have displayed the Welcoming Library, a wonderful children's book collection about new neighbors.

Foliage at Storytime

At Storytime this week, we read several books about fall. We looked at the colors of real fallen leaves before we made our autumn trees. We used tissue paper for the colorful "leaves" and did lots of ripping and cutting! 

It's Autumn!

It's Fall, and here's our new bulletin board - "LEAF" us the name of your favorite children's book! On each leaf is the name of a favorite book as well as the name of the reader who chose it.

Staff favorites are up there, but we have only a few titles from patrons. When you come to the library, ask for a leaf and fill one out so we can add it to the display. If you want to leave us a comment with the name of your favorite book, we can fill out a leaf for you - just don't forget to tell us what color to use for your choice! Happy Fall, y'all!
