The Children’s Department is thoroughly enjoying its wonderful facilities in the new library. Come visit us! You may reach us by phone at our new direct number: (307) 527-1884 or via email. You can also follow us on Twitter!
Here’s our complete March calendar!
Sleepy Time Stories! The first Monday evening of each month will be a family story time. Come in PJ’s and bring a stuffed animal or blanket, and settle in for great stories by different teachers from the Cody Reading Council. Ends with milk & cookies! Next session will be the *second* Monday evening of the month due to school vacation: April 12th, 6:30-7:30.
Toddler Time for ages 12-36 months plus parent or caregiver is every Monday morning from 10:00-10:20. Short stories, music, and movement all help develop a love of reading and the library. It’s also a great networking time for the adults!
Story Time: Free brain training for your kids! Tuesday and Wednesday mornings from 10:00-10:45 are Story Times for ages 3-6. The same stories will be used both days, but Tuesday’s session will include games and songs, while Wednesday’s will involve a craft. Join us for either or both! Designed to promote early literacy skills, plus a love for the library. Great opportunity for moms to meet, too.
“Homeschool Hour” is every Tuesday afternoon from 2:30-3:30. Homeschooled children, kindergarten through sixth grade, are invited for a classic read-aloud followed by library skills, crafts, contests, and fun socialization.
Homework Help! New this year, every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon from 3:30-4:30, kids through fifth grade may come to the activity room for help with their schoolwork by a certified teacher. No sign-up required.
Therapy Dogs! Every Monday through Thursday afternoon, a certified therapy dog is at the library from 3:45-4:45! Kids can sign up to read for a 15 minute session. Research proves this helps with fluency – plus it’s just plain fun! Our “Questions and Answers” brochure explains a great deal.
Summer Reading Program! Fun for kids ages 0-18, scheduled to begin Tuesday, June 1st. Stay tuned for details closer to the starting date. This year’s theme is “Make a Splash…READ!” If you are interested in donating a prize for our popular program, we’d love to talk to you!
Parents!
If you’ve always thought reading is important, you are right! Albert Einstein said “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” Come on to the library; there’s no time like the present!
