Spring Session Almost Over

Thursday, April 30th, is the last day of the Spring 2009 session of Preschool Story Time. We will resume on Thursday, June 11. For the summer session, we will meet at 10:00 and 11:00, on Thurdsays, in the Clymer room.

We had a great time this morning with the firefighters, Tony and Derrick. Derrick put on his gear, boots, pants, coat, red hat and all! They each read a book to the group, and answered questions. They even stayed while the kids made their crafts, a dalmation dog stick puppet and a firefighter's badge.
Thank you to Tony and Derrick and the El Dorado Fire Department for making this morning's story time so special. Robin, from the El Dorado Times newspaper was also at story time, so be watching the papers for pictures!

Next week we will have stories about flowers.

For the month of May, Brianne and I will be busy getting ready for the 2009 Summer Reading program. The theme this year is "Be Creative @ Your Library." More news coming soon!

We have a new children's department website in the works. It will have information for kids and parents. Stay tuned for updates!
