American Girl Book Club UPDATE

We decided not to meet during the week of Thanksgiving, so the 25th is cancelled.

Next two meetings are December 2 and 16. Briana Gilyard will lead the discussion of "Meet Kit."

We now have the movie too! Let's plan on watching it together during the Christmas holiday break.

A.G. Book Club Meets Tomorrow

We're on our 3rd book, "Kaya's Escape." Discussion Tuesday, Nov. 11 (no school day!) at 4:00. Grace Hanson leads this discussion.

Our next book will be "Meet Kit" in two weeks, Nov. 25. Briana Gilyard will lead that discussion.

"Meet Addy" today at 4

Our American Girl book club meets today. We'll share some items of clothing, props and stuff we found at home that remind us of one of the characters. See if you can guess which character it is.

Cornbread (just a taste), but better than Addy and her mother had on their journey. . . popcorn, lemonade, and good book discussion. These girls have what it takes to make a great book club!

Hello, Pokemon Fans!

It's been great to see all the Trading Card Fans coming out to the weekly games . . . the word has gotten out that we are still meeting during the summer!

Meetings are Wednesdays at 10:00 am - 12:30 (or when finished)

Starting the week of August 20, still on Wednesday, we go back to our school-year time of 3:30 - 5:30. Be sure to tell your friends. See you there . . .

Summer Storytimes

We're into the second week of Storytimes for the Summer Migrant Education Program. Three groups of mixed ages are visiting the library three times a week for three weeks.

Last week we told Trickster Tales and placed the characters on a world map: Anansi the Spider, Zomo the Rabbit, Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, Coyote , and Jabuti the Tortoise.

This week, we enjoyed a few of the many collected fables: The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, The Fox and the Grapes, and the Milkmaid and her Pail, to name just three. And just for fun, a tale of Renard the Fox called "Renard and Crow."

My favorite moral: Said the country mouse to the town mouse: "A humble life with peace and quiet is better than a spendid one with danger and risk." --Aesop

You are Invited . . .

This is the week of the "Mad Hatter" Tea Party --
