* Space is limited.

Thursday, May 16th @ 10am.
This year, as we celebrate Asian Pacific Heritage Month, we will be traveling to India. Children and their families are invited to join us for a free puppet show.

* Tickets are not required. The safety of the children we serve is our first consideration. Room capacity, as determined by the fire Marshall, as well as our desire for a high-quality program necessitates limits.

This program will be in place of our regularly scheduled storytime.

Where are you Caillou?

Submitted by Christine Turner on Mon, 04/22/2013 - 11:42am

Caillou is a book character that many children are fond of. However, I noticed that several of my young friends were having difficulty finding these books. Why?

At the library, we organize picture books by the author's last name. However, Caillou is one of those series that has been written by several different people. Consequently, many friends are not able to find what they are looking for.

I have gathered these items for you and they are now located on a display in the children's area. I hope that this makes it easier for you to find the items you want to read.

This week in storytime we celebrated Curious George. During the program I had asked, "What was Curious George's first job?" Did anyone figure it out? Not sure. To discover the answer checkout Curious George Takes a Job by H. A. (Hans Augusto) Rey and Margret Rey.

Today, in the Toddler storytime we discussed the TumbleBook Library. If you were unable to attend the program or are unable to find your handout click here to learn more. Many children enjoyed making a simple train puppet during the program. I have included the Little Red Caboose lyrics below so you can continue the fun at home.
