Our Color Your World Spring Coloring Contest Is Beginning to Add a Little Color to the Library! (Updated 4/5/11)

Take a look at the first few entrant's masterpieces. I will continue uploading pictures of the children's coloring pages as they are turned in. 

Budding Bookworms Wanted! Lapsit Story time (1-2 year olds) Topic: Spring

"Spring Into Reading" with a bright and interactive song and dance-filled story time. Welcomto BuddingBookworms Lapsit Story time (Mondays at 10 am), where story time and play time are combined. We'll shake our wiggles out, sing, tell flannel board stories, read a book or two and have loads of fun. We use items such as egg shakers, streamers or bubbles to bring our story time to life. Bring your doll or teddy bear along so they can enjoy this story.

This week's story time topic is spring. We will bring the story time alive by reading one or two of these books: Cold Little Duck, Duck, Duck by Lisa Westberg Peters and When Will It Be Spring? by Catherine Walters.

This song will put a "spring" in your step.

Song

Spring Is Here (Sung To: Are You Sleeping)

I see robins,
I see bird's nests,
Butterflies too,
flowers too.
Everything is growing,
The wind is gently blowing.
Spring is here, spring is here.
