A Grand Time

Yesterday was our official summer Reading Program kick-off. It was well attended and everyone seemed to have a good time. I must say the balloon animals created by 2 Shriners were a big hit along with the Juggling School provided by Amazama from Portland.
We are excited to present many great programs this summer and hope that everyone will sign up to participate.

I started the Busy Hands and Feet Storytime today with several books on painting which coincides with the summer reading theme, Be Creative @ Your Library.
Warthogs Paint by Pamela Edwards is great for teaching color mixing. I even mixed paint like the warthogs surprising the young ones with the "magic" of colors.


I'm the Best Artist in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry is a sequel to his fun title, I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean. Both feature an egotistical giant squid who eventually finds he's not the best artist or the biggest thing in the ocean.
Have a great summer of reading! Diana
