Preschool parents—please
remember that there are no classes the week of Christmas or New Years. All the preschool classes (Mother Goose on
the Loose, Bitty Books, and Kiddie Lit) will resume the week of January 6th. Due to the popularity of our preschool
classes, starting in January of 2013 we are adding an additional ‘Kiddie Lit’
slot to the mix on Friday mornings. The
first available class is on January 11, 2013. Crafts, music, rhyme, new friends
and adventures into literacy will be found during these classes geared for
children ages 3-6. Try this new class time starring our newest youth
services teacher, Miss Celeste! Her
class will be organized thematically and you’ll be able to look online to see
what the general theme for the day is.
Classes will be held on Fridays from 10:15-11:00am. If you sign up, we
consider you registered for the entire session. Children who registered
in the fall for any of our preschool classes are still considered registered
unless you have asked to remove them, so if you attend a Monday, Tuesday, or
Thursday class and plan to continue, you do not need to register your child
again for that.
Start the new year
right with a commitment or a re-commitment to book discussion. That’s what resolutions are all about,
right? You can come in and get a book
for any discussion. In January we are
hosting the following:
~Tweens (grades 5-8) on
January 2 will be discussing ‘When you Reach Me’ by Rebecca Stead.
~Teens (grades 9-12) on
January 9 will be discussing ‘Looking for Alaska’ by John Green.
~Evening adults on
January 15 at 6pm will be discussing ‘Destiny of the Republic’ by Candace
Millard.
~Morning adults on
January 23 at 10:15am will be choosing books for the year in their December
gathering. Please call the library and ask
for the title after December 26th.
~Brown bag book
clubbers on January 28 at 5:30pm will be discussing ‘Eve of the Emperor Penguin’
by Mary Pope Osborne
Start 2013 on the right
note by giving your child some musical education! ‘Come
Meet the Flute’! In this introductory
series of classes we will have fun while developing musical thinking and
listening skills. We'll play lots of musical games and find out how the
flute makes its sound. This is a hands-on active class that requires caretaker
and child participation. This is a 3 week commitment and is by
registration only.
We are offering 2
distinct sessions of this class. Tootie Flutes I is geared for children
ages 3-5 and is from 2:00-2:30pm. Tootie Flutes II is for children ages
5-7 and is from 3:30-4:00pm. Musician and teacher, Judy Teehan,
will be instructing the classes. ***When
you register, you are enrolling for 3 consecutive Wednesdays at the same
time. This is a requirement for signing up.
Please be aware that the library will be closed for a few days
during the holiday season. We are closed
for Christmas on both December 24 and 25, but we will be open for limited hours
New Year’s Eve (10am-3pm) on December 31, and closed for New Year’s Day –
January 1. Happy holidays to all our
fantastic customers regardless of what traditions you are celebrating!
