You're Caught!

Did you know that May is Get Caught Reading Month?  We dare you!

How do you read?

When my oldest child was little and I had the privilige of being a stay-at-home mom, we would read for hours on end.  We took two weekly trips to the library and would bury ourselves under stacks of picture books on fun afternoons.  With the popularity of ebooks, Kindles and the like, I wonder how the face of reading is changing for parents and little ones.  Has this technological movement affected your reading habits with your children? 

Bubble Gum Blast!

We had a pretty fantastic time at the library today!  Kids in grades 1-5 were invited to come to our Bubble Gum Blast program.  We had a taste test with about a gazillion different flavors of gum.  We played pin the gum on the wall, had a guessing game, made sculptures out of chewed gum, had a bubblegum hunt and had a bobbing for bubblegum contest...in whipped cream.  All in all...a sticky success!

Don't you miss us??

Can't remember where you put your little one's winter hat?  Where did that darn jacket go?  Many sleepless nights because a favorite stuffed friend is missing?  Check out our lost and found!  We've got clothing, toys, sunglasses, purses, you name it.  Just check at the Circ Desk...we'd love to reunite you two!

We're display crazy!

Here in the Moon Township Public Library's Children's Department, we are all about displays.  We have several going on at any given time, and they've become a highlight of our area.  "Miss Megan's Picks" feature books that I'm loving at the moment or in moment's past.  We have a new books display which showcases titles that we've added within the last month or so.  Next door to that we have a rotating feature display which is currently all about Sports Nuts.  Hop on over to our picture book section where we have a seasonal display of books, a superhero display and another rotating display on various topics.  Check us out!

Is that SUNSHINE I see???

It's been pretty super fantastically wonderful to see all of the kiddies coming into the library in shorts and sandals.  I think we're headed into summer...and you know what that means!  Our Summer Reading Club is going to be massive this year!  We will be travelling the globe with One World, Many Stories.  We're having programs galore and more fun than you can shake a stick at!  Keep your calender clear for Saturday, June 11th...our annual Kick-Off Celebration.  It's gonna be big!

Battle of the Books 2011

We had an awesome Battle of the Books this year with over 30 teams from Moon and Rhema 5th grades.  It is very encouraging to see so many children this enthusiastic about reading!  Can't wait for next year!
