Wow, I can’t believe it’s already September- school has started…. summer just FLEW by! We had more kids than ever in the Summer Reading Program: over 2000 kids signed up.
I hope everyone enjoyed all the great activities. What a fun time! The Pirate Party took over the whole library….BubbleMania out in the park… 3-D drawing…decorating beachwear… learning about boats…songs with Nancy Stewart… even making things out of Duck Tape! So where do we go from here? How do we top this summer? What would YOU like to see at the library next year? If you have a great idea, let us know. Of course, we can’t do everything, but we’d like to hear from you. We’re already starting to brainstorm about next year, and maybe your suggestion is just what we need.

Read moreSigning at Storytime
Today's storytime for little ones (ages 0-24 months) had a little extra surprise. Ruth Briggs joined us, and introduced some basic sign language. She also talked about how signing with young children helps them express themselves before they can talk, and that decreases frustration. We laughed as we incorporated some signs into the stories and songs. What a great combination: we had books, music, sign language, colors and numbers all working together to reinforce language development! There's only one week left of this session, and I'm already looking forward to more storytimes this summer. Read moreRocket science is fun!
