Cookie Decorating with Kristina

Twenty “egg”cited participants gathered at the library on Saturday, March 23 to try their hand at cookie decorating. With the help of Kristina Sehi they all did a great job – in fact Easton will tell you they were good enough to eat! Enjoy the slide show below that shows all the concentration and effort they put into learning their new skill.

Story Time with the Second Grade

This month we visited the second grade classes at St. Bon and Elgin Public. We read the story Penguins to the Rescue by Tony Mitton. While a group of young penguins were enjoying many winter activities, they also came to the rescue of a baby seal that was separated from her mother. We also shared some facts about penguins before making one.

Christmas Around the World

Our last flight for Christmas Around the World was Monday, December 18. On this flight 32 children took a trip to discover Christmas in Australia. Our book for this week was entitled “An Aussie Night Before Christmas” by Yvonne Morrison and Kilmeny Niland. Upon arrival they learned that in Australia Santa flies in an “ute” pulled by eight mighty ‘roos (kangaroos). Santa was also dressed in a bit of a non-traditional way in his stubby red shorts and red flowered shirt! The kids also enjoyed making snow globes featuring “surfin’ Santa” followed up with a snack of Australian fairy bread. The Elgin Public Library would like to thank all the children who helped us celebrate Christmas Around the World and so until next year “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night or from Australia “goodonya mates!”
