May is a busy month for most. Mother’s Day, Graduations and Memorial Day weekend and L. Frank Baum’s birthday [he wrote The Wizard of Oz]. Even with the busy schedules the library did manage to plan a few events this May.
First up was Mother’s Day,the story time kids made Mother’s Day baskets from paper plates and fake flowers and on Friday May 9th the library had crafts for the kids to make their mother’s and grandmothers.
Next up L. Frank Baum’s birthday and 2014 is the 75th anniversary of the movie, so you know the library had to do something.
The story time kids were read two Wizard of Oz books and then made “Over the Rainbow” windsocks out of small milk jugs and ribbon.
The kids were invited to the library on May 15th to make “Tornado’s in jar” and “Broom Stick” dessert.
The Adults who were up for checked out the “Cooking in Oz” cookbook and make a recipe form the book and bring it to share with others on Friday, May 16th.
The Adults also took a Library “Field Trip” to Wamego to visit the Oz Museum and Toto’s Taco’s for lunch on Tuesday, May 20th.
They also went to the Dutch Wind Mill and Prairie Town Museum in Wamego and then off to Alma to the cheese factory. The group had a wonderful time!
The Modern Woodmen of America Tiny Tots club also planted the library flower boxes for us again this year. The little kids do a great job and it make the front of the library look so pretty. Many thanks to them.
