For Spring Break this year the library had planned 3 events. Well… We had the 2 craft days, but not the Game Day. Game Day was scheduled for Saturday, March 20th, that’s the day the snow storm hit.  So not only did we not have Game Day we didn’t even open the library.

On Wednesday which was St. Patrick’s Day we did St. Patrick’s magnets and also had a spring craft for the kids to do. The librarians we really into St. Patrick’s Day, they had their Green on!.

Friday was Easter craft day, the kids colored wooden eggs and made little basket out of card stock, they also had Easter magnets. The kids really like the little baskets.

Up next?? Mother’s Day crafts in May, the date will be announced at a later date.…

Have a safe and fun spring break!…

On Thursday, February 11th the library held it’s annual “Chocolate Day”. Chocolate day is our way of celebrating Valentine’s Day at the library.

Each year we pick a day close to Valentine’s Day and then get things set up for the kids. There are chocolate molds, pretzels, marshmallows and different kinds of chocolate. this years flavors? White/vanilla, brown/chocolate, pink/watermelon, red/raspberry and tan/butterscotch.

The kids make chocolate suckers, lips and hearts. They dip pretzels and marshmallows. They had a great time.  Along with chocolate the kids decorated pink or red bags and make Valentine bookmarks.

The first geography club of 2010 was held on Tuesday, February 2nd @ 2:30. The club had decided to celebrate “England” with an English afternoon tea.

We had tiny sandwiches, scones, bread, cookies and many varieties of tea.  We used real tea cups, tablecloths, glass and crystal serving dishes. We even had a display of books by English authors and different types of tea pots.

We learned the difference between High tea and Afternoon tea.

Up next? The club has decided to “Celebrate” Haiti, it seemed a natural choice.…

The library is participating in the Kansas Reads program. We have yet to have our kick off for it though. We have tried twice and both times the weather did not cooperate, so now we are just passing the book around to different reader. We will try to have something before the end of February, weather permitting.…
