Our summer enrichment classes kicked off today with Art in the Stacks. The kids painted a dog using fun colors. No two dogs are ever alike in real-life or in paintings!

June Storywalk®

Posted by kimr on 31 May 24

Looking for an outdoor outing with the kids? Take a stroll at Gainesville’s Jaycee Park and enjoy this month’s Storywalk®.

Be sure to take the survey at the end of the book and follow the instructions. Your kiddos will think it’s pretty sweet!

Thanks Kayson’s Candy Company for sponsoring the Storywalk® in honor of National Candy Month!

This project is made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (Grant #LS-252486-OLS-22) to the Texas State Library and Archives Commission under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act. (2023)

The StoryWalk® Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Storywalk® is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.

We love seeing all of our school kids for summer break! Starting next Tuesday, our children’s classes will adjust to accommodate the older kids.

At 10:30 there will be two separate classes. Our regular preschool and under will be in the meeting room. Our school age friends will be in the children’s area.

At 2:30 all ages will meet in the meeting room.

The theme will be the same in each class for that week.

Messy Toddler Day April 30, 2024

Posted by kimr on 01 May 24

Yesterday was our annual “Messy Toddler Day” at our children’s classes. After reading a messy book the kids explored sensory activities. This open-ended play time encourages the development of fine motor skills, helps kids understand their surroundings, and much more! Plus the kids had a blast getting messy.

123 Tiny Trails April 24, 2024

Posted by kimr on 24 April 24

Today the “123…” program visited the preschool classes at Tiny Trails Licensed Childcare Facility. Mrs. Kim read interactive books about buses. The children were able to sing along to the familiar tune of The Wheels on the Bus to help build early literacy and pronunciation skills.

Each child was given a book of their own thanks to Hector Flores, Modern Woodmen of America.
