StoryWalk® Event June 6, 2025

Posted by kimr on

Today we held our in-person StoryWalk® event. Ms. Kim and attendees walked through Jaycee Park to read the June book.

Kayson’s Candy Company treated the kids to sweet treats once they reached the last page. This month’s StoryWalk® is sponsored by Kayson’s Candy Co. in observance of National Candy Month.

If you complete the survey on the last page any time this month, your kids can get a sweet treat as well. Just show the library you completed the survey.

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)

Special thanks to our StoryWalk® sponsor, Kristy Emberton – Tierra Real Estate Services

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.

The library visited the Valley View after school Enrichment group. Ms. Kim read a mystery picture book. Then they discussed ways detectives might try to solve a mystery. They practiced making their fingerprints and looked at how each one is unique.

Sivells Bend Artwork display

Posted by kimr on

The students from Sivells Bend Isd created spring chick artwork to display at the library. Students in grades PK-2 took a field trip to the library to see their display. They also got a library tour, story time and built with LEGOS so they could see all of the great things the library has to offer.
