Children’s Class December 17, 2024: Winter

Posted by kimr on

Mrs. Kim read winter themed books yesterday. We also used jingle bells to sing along to children’s tunes.
 
There will be no children’s class next Tuesday so library staff can spend Christmas Eve with their families. Be sure to join us December 31 @ 10:30 or 2:30 for a Happy New Year’s themed children’s class.

Posted by kimr on

Snowplows and snowflakes brightened the kids’ winter morning at Chick-fil-A Gainesville (TX) yesterday morning. Story time is a great way to spend these cold mornings.

Family Place: Play, Learn, & Grow

Posted by kimr on

In October and November the Library completed our first series of Play, Learn, and Grow Parent Child Workshops. Children and their caregivers were given the opportunity to come into the library to play, interact with each other, and ask questions about various child development topics.
 
Our guests in this series served as community resource professionals who shared their expertise and helped answer developmental questions.
 
Thanks to:
– Kelsey’s team from Gainesville Independent School District‘s Child Nutrition
– Dallas from PerdueWorks Therapy Group
-Ranee from PerdueWorks Therapy Group
 
This project is made possible by a Family Place Libraries™ grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (Grant #FPG-24003) to Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. (2024).
