Less than a week left to get your permission slips for the first annual Holi Water Fight! June 10th at 2 pm outside the library, teens ages 12-18 or entering 6th-12th grade are invited to join in this Summer Reading Kick-Off. Holi powder temporarily stains skin and permanently stains clothing, much like Henna. For this reason, teens are required to have a signed permission slip to participate. So stop by the library to get your form today! Questions? Ask Leanne, YA Librarian, 281-360-6804.

Summer Reading Just Around the Corner

Submitted by Bonnie Langan on Sat, 05/21/2011 - 2:57pm

Summer Reading is just around the corner. Summer Reading flyers are not available yet due to a mishap at the printers. However, the staff at Baldwin Boettcher invites you to visit our website and view our events page. Programming for children starts June 6th. Ticketing is still required for our children's programming. Tickets are free. Please arrive one-half hour early to ask for your ticket. Remember the fire marshall has limited our seating capacity to 60 people. This means that children attending the program should be able to sit by themselves to pariticpate in the program. Some of our programs have seating limited even lower than 60 so please make sure that you find out how to sign up for these.

Summer Reading at Baldwin Boettcher

Submitted by Bonnie Langan on Thu, 08/12/2010 - 6:35pm

Summer Reading at the Baldwin Boettcher Library was a grand success. Our Children's Librarian, Nancy Rodriguez, kissed a cow. A few of our young participants were "hugged" by a very large snake. It goes without saying we ate really well. Snacks have been provided by the Friends of the Baldwin Boettcher Library. Adult programming had some taste testing and Domino's pizza provided the experience of a life time with two pizza parties.

The Baldwin Boettcher Library presented 61 programs; entertaining 2149 participants. Due to budget constraints the Friends of the Baldwin Boettcher Library foot the bill for costs.

Reading for School

Submitted by Luanna Adams on Thu, 07/15/2010 - 11:22am

Just a reminder - The summer break is halfway over. If you’re required to do summer reading for school, you might want to come in and check out a book now. Lots of people will be checking them out right before school starts, so there will be a shortage then.
