Make-It Take-it Craft Day







On June 5, kids had a great time making "buggy" headbands and grasshoppers using a plastic spoon, pipe cleaners, and felt. They also made "Don't Bug Me Doorhangers."
For a treat, they made butterflies using pretzels for wings and cheese sticks for the bodies.

Catch the Reading Bug


The summer reading program, "Catch the Reading Bug," started June 2, 2008 and will continue through July 26, 2008. The program is based on minutes read, so come to the library to get your reading log.
The children's program includes children ages 0-12. Children ages 0-5 need to read 1 hour for each prize, 6-9 need to read for 2 hours, and children 10-12 need 4 hours of reading for each prize. Get your picture taken and we'll put your photo on the butterfly
board.
