Month: March 2016

This summer, St. Louis University will be offering online reading programs for children entering preschool through the 12th grade.  These programs are individualized and provide instruction in phonics, comprehension, fluency, textbook study skills, speed reading and love of reading.  New sessions begin each week and are expected to fill fast.  For more information or to register call 1-800-964-9974.  We have flyers you can pick up at the library to learn more.

Although it doesn’t feel like it today, spring is finally here.  Just wanted to wish all our patrons a Happy Easter and happy spring season.  The library will not be closed over Easter weekend, but will be open normal hours.  If you need a break from the candy and egg hunts, stop in and pick up a good book to relax with.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the spring Health Fair Screenings provided by HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital at area locations.  You may pick up a form here at the library to preregister or download the form at http://www.stjoebreese.com

Do you know someone who’s recently had a new baby?  Please let us know.  The library has a great program where a welcome packet is sent to new parents in the Germantown library district.  The packet includes a cute bib saying “Read to Me” and several other goodies.  However if the parents aren’t already library patrons or aren’t in the phone book, we don’t always have access to home addresses.  Just call us at 523-4820 or email us at gma@gtownlibrary.org, with the parents’ name and address and date of birth of the new addition, and we’ll be happy to send a welcome packet.
