Fall 2008 Storytimes

Thank you to all who made the Spring semester storytimes so much fun!
Join us again for Fall story hours starting in October 2008, and enjoy the fall colors, our great books, our array of animals, and our train set. There will be two sets of story times:

• Join Mrs. B. and Ichabod Bear Monday mornings at 10:30.
• Join Ms. Laura for evening storytimes, Thursdays at 6:30.
• Stay tuned for actual start dates

Programs will run through late November for the Fall semester.

• Summer Reading Program 2008 was a-buzz with fun, and the usual stories, crafts, activities and rewards. Many made a bee-line to the library.
  
  
  
• The first program, Monday 7/7/2008: We heard (and saw!) a funny story; saw the library butterfly pavilion; made a sun visor! A small crowd came to see Henry get through his Awful Day.
  
  
• Monday 7/14: We saw a Minoa-produced puppet show; made a butterfly magnet! The kids really debated Mr. Brown and Mrs. B's puppets about the moss-covered rock.
  
  
• Monday 7/21: We saw Moreland the Magician, once L.A.'s and now N.Y.'s kids' favorite! Biggest crowd of the year, yet.
  
  
• Monday 7/28: 78 people of all ages came to see "The Zoo to You" with a scorpion, a box turtle, and a screech owl!
  
  
• The program concluded 8/4 with a puppet show, "The Monkey King" from nationally-renowned professional puppeteer Nancy Sanders.
  
  
• We set three separate attendance records in 2007. We've had another successful season in 2008.
