The Richmond Public Library story time kids celebrated Dr. Seuss Birthday on Wednesday, March 2nd. The kids were read the books “Because A Little Bug Went Ka-CHOO! and I Can Read With My Eyes Shut”.

Before the story the kids did Dr. Seuss crafts. They made Cat ear headbands and Ka-Choo bugs to hold during the story. For a snack we had our version or Green Eggs and Ham, ham sandwiches with chocolate eggs covered in green foil.

Since it was Dr. Seuss birthday a volunteer also took some books down to the nutrition site for people to read during lunch.

Both groups had a great time!…

The library held it’s annual Chocolate day on Friday, February11th. This tradition always falls close to Valentines Day. Everyone is invited to come and make Chocolate with candy molds. The kids made chocolate lips and chocolate suckers, they dipped cookies, marshmallows  and pretzels in chocolate. Adults are welcome to join [if they can get past the kids]. they all seem to have a great time and I think they all left the library on a sugar high.

There was milk chocolate, cherry chocolate, butterscotch and white [Vanilla] chocolate.  Everyone had a great time.

The Richmond Public Library has decided that the January hours will remain the same in February.  So the library will remain closed on Mondays for the month of February. It is the hope of the library that come March the library will be open on Mondays.

The decison about the hour will be made at the February board meeting which will be on the 18th.

Until then we hope everyone stays safe and warm!…

The adults painted gourds on December 16th. Margaret Moore grew them in her garden just for the library, many thanks to her for doing that for us.  The adults who painted really seemed to enjoy themselves.
