Soupy Story Time

Virtual Story Time

This week, we are reading stories about soup! What is your favorite soup?

We are excited that Miss Linda joined us to read a story this week. She was a little nervous about reading on camera, so be sure to tell her you liked her story if you see her. We think she did an awesome job!

Check out the stories below and then take a look at the recipe for Mexicali soup we have shared. It cooks in one pot and it is easy enough that parents can have some “little helpers” assist in making the soup. This recipe is very mild, too!

Thanksgiving Virtual Story Time

Holiday, Virtual Story Time

Tomorrow is a special day! This week, we are again celebrating Thanksgiving with some themed stories for Virtual Story Time. Check out Miss Theresa’s two stories and then the craft below. Miss Theresa liked both stories so much that she couldn’t decide which one to read, so she recorded both!

We are pretty sure everyone has made a hand turkey before. This week, we are bringing back this classic Thanksgiving craft for our story time. It’s so easy that even babies can do it (with some help) and so fun!

The sky’s the limit with decorating the hand turkey. Crayons, markers, and paint are all great mediums to color in the turkey after the hand is traced. Be sure you write down the child’s name, age, and the year so later you can look back and see how little their hand was when they made the craft.

If you need a refresher, we have a link you can visit here! We hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving this year.

Turkey Day Virtual Story Time

Virtual Story Time

This week and next, we are celebrating Thanksgiving with Virtual Story Time! Below you’ll find two turkey-themed stories and a craft. Enjoy!

This is a great time of the year to talk about the meaning behind Thanksgiving and introduce young kids to the concept of “being thankful” or “giving thanks.” You can use this coloring sheet to help them visualize three things they are thankful for!

Another Autumnal Story Time

Virtual Story Time

This week, we are celebrating fall again! The trees are finally changing and we will be experiencing cooler weather next week. Check out our stories below!

For our craft this week, we are again asking patrons of all ages to color an owl for our bulletin board. We are asking the owls be colored at the library instead of being taken home. So far, we only have one owl and he is lonely! Let’s give him some friends.

This Virtual Story Time is a “hoot”

Virtual Story Time

This week, our story time is tied in with our fall bulletin board. Pete the Cat has gone into storage, and we are in the process of putting up new bulletin board decorations in the children’s area.

It is going to look something like this:

But we need your help! When you come in the library, every patron is encouraged to color a small owl that will sit on the branches of our tree on the bulletin board. This display will stay up until December, when we decorate for Christmas. Come snag one!

In the meantime, enjoy our two owl-themed stories this week.
