APRIL - A BUSY MONTH AT THE LIBRARY!

Come in and see our fabulous art show! In honor of the “Week of the Young Child” April 19- 25th, we have art, created by preschool age children, on display in the Children’s Department of the library for the whole month of April. There are over 300 pieces! The work was created by children from First Baptist Day Care, First Baptist Preschool, Educare, 4-year old program and Early Education at Skelly school, El Dorado Headstart, Flinthills Headstart, and our own Preschool Storytime.


To kick off the week, on Sunday April 19th at 2:00 pm, is Colin O’Brien. He plays banjo, fiddle, guitar, sings and dances! He puts on an energetic, interactive show. It is for kids of all ages! Saturday night, April 18th, he will be performing at the Iron Horse Concert Hall, here in El Dorado.



April 20th, there will be a balloon launch from the park behind the library at 9:30. Mr. Dale (Dale Tower)will be there to add music to the fun.

Later that day, Brianne is showing the movie “BOLT” on our BIG screen in the Clymer room. It is free and open to everyone.

On the 22nd Brianne is presenting a “Go Green” program for Earth Day, from 4:00 to 5:00 pm. This program is for K – 5th grade.

Thursday, April 23rd, is a special Preschool Story time. Local firefighters will be our special guests!

Preschool story time is winding down the spring session. We will meet April 9, 16, 23 and 30th. Then, we take the month of May off so we can get ready for summer.

We have had great coverage this spring of our story times by our local paper, The El Dorado Times. Thank you to Robin and Julie. It has been so much fun to read about our story times and see the pictures.
