Kelly and Becky, clowns from Ringling Brothers & Barnum & Bailey circus visited yesterday! They did great tricks they learned at the circus. Now we all want to learn how to juggle! They also told us how important it is to read.

Literary LEGOs July 2, 2014

Posted by kimr on

The theme today for our Literary LEGOs program was flying objects. The kids all built something that flies. We had spaceships, rockets, and helicopters. Thank you Dollar General Literacy Grant and the Friends of the Cooke County Library for your support in starting this program!

Storyhour July 1, 2014

Posted by kimr on

What a busy day at storyhour today! Ms. Kim took the little kids outside. They read about all kinds of bubbles! Bubble baths, bubbles, and bubble gum. Then they made their own bubble wands and chased bubbles in the yard. Meanwhile, the older kids learned about science with Ms. Susan from Science Safari. Fizz, Boom, Read was the topic. They learned about acids, alkalines, and indicators. They even made their own homemade root beer! Thank you to the Gainesville Police Department for stopping by and handing out sticker badges!
