The Richmond Public Library wishes you and yours warmth and happiness this holiday season.…

Monday, November 19th the Richmond library was full. There were over 20 people here for the Thanksgiving craft day. This year we made Totem Poles and Turkeys. The totem poles were made from construction paper and toilet paper rolls. This years turnkeys were made from construction paper that when folded and put together right stood up on the table, then the kids added feathers.

The kids really seem to enjoy craft days at the library. The next one is planned for December 17th and will of course be a Christmas craft day.

Wednesday, November 14th was the day the Richmond choose for it’s Kansas Reads to Preschoolers day. We invited local Police Chief Steve Weese to come and read to the kids. Officer Weese read “It’s Time to Call 911” to the kids and then had each of them try to dial it on the key pad on the book. The kids really seemed to enjoy that part.

Next up was the book Do Kangaroos Wear Seat Belts. Since we could not find another local authority person we chose a first time mom at story hour. Jessica had not been in the library since she was a kid. Since she was returning with her daughter we thought it would be nice to have her read the book.

The kids made Kangaroos out of construction paper. And since Thanksgiving is just around the corner we made turkey headbands.
