“Have Book-Will Travel!”

Kids ages 4 and up will be able to sign up for our summer reading program, “Have Book-Will Travel!” beginning June 10.  You can have your passport stamped and earn prizes for reading, plus there will be weekly games and activities.  Would you like Grizzlies and Cardinals tickets?  We’ve got ’em!  There will be a kick-off party Saturday June 15 at 11am featuring Frazzle the Clown.  So be sure to sign up and begin your summer adventures with books.

The library is updating it’s preschool activity bags and would love your donations of new or gently used puzzles, stuffed animals, dolls, action figures, etc.  These items will be paired with a book to make a themed activity bag that can be used in the library or checked out to take home.  One example might be a toy train and a book about Thomas the Tank Engine.  Or an ABC puzzle with an alphabet book.  The sky’s the limit.  We’re hoping families will use the bags to instill a love of books along with creative play.  For more information, to pick up a list of requested items or to drop off donations, please stop in the library during any regular hours.
