Last time I blogged, I promised more updates about what we're doing here at the library, so here we go-
Last week we had a special dragon storytime. We read the following books:
Who Wants a Dragon? by James Mayhew
Take Care, Good Knight by Shelley Moore Thomas
Dragon Dancing by Carole Lexa Schaefer
And then we made this special dragon craft.

Click here to see more photos of the children working on their craft or visit this website to download the template so you can make one at home!In the first week of our second session of Play & Learn for the fall, our 4 & 5 year olds talked and learned about opposites. To practice opposites like 'over' and 'under', we created artwork above AND below the table! Of course, both sides of the table were covered with special drawing paper. We had so much fun with this activity, and it was a very unique way to practice using our fine motor skills as well.
Yesterday, our storytime was about one of my very favorite snacks, popcorn! We read the following books about popcorn and then made a fall corn craft:Popcorn by Alex Moran
The Popcorn Shop by Alice Low
"Not Now!" Said the Cow by Joanne Oppenheim
Here are some photos of this craft, in progress and completed!

I just want to remind everyone that we're raffling off our Samantha American Girl doll at the beginning of next month! If you want a chance to win, all you have to do is stop off at the Green Ridge Library and check out items- for every ten books, DVDs, or CDs you check out, you'll get one raffle ticket. There's still a few weeks left to earn tickets!I hope you enjoyed getting a peek into the programs going on here at the library. We always have fun activities planned for children of all ages. Check out our calendar of events and if you're interested in attending any of them, call the library at (570) 207-0764 to reserve your space. I hope to see you soon!
