This week, we are celebrating Memorial Day with a couple stories about the holiday. Memorial Day is a long weekend that is sometimes referred to as the official start of summer in the United States. We celebrate this day to remember our fallen soldiers.
For our craft this week, we have a link to a bunch of fun Memorial Day crafts you can try at home!
Have you ever felt grumpy? Other words for being grumpy are grouchy or crabby. It’s a perfectly normal emotion, but it is important to know where it comes from and how to handle it. Today we are reading a couple stories about being grumpy!
For our craft, we have a cute coloring page so you can make your own Grouchy Ladybug. You can print it at home or get a copy here at the library. Be sure to give him some angry eyebrows so he looks EXTRA GROUCHY!
Are you staying dry? At the library, we like to say that days like this are “good reading weather.” This week, we are sharing a couple selections from Junior Library Guild. This company sends a handpicked picture book to the library every month and we always love what comes in the mail.
This week, we are offering a variety of craft kits for pick up at the library! We have many odds and ends saved from different in-person story times, past Summer Reading Programs, and other events. Come pick up a kit or two and make something fun!
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!
This week, Miss Theresa is reading a couple stories about spiders! These tiny critters might look a little scary, but they are our friends. Listen to the stories to find out why!
Check out the super cute craft for this week! Aren’t these spiders darling?
This week, Miss Theresa is sharing a couple stories about hats! Hats are great for when you are having a “bad hair day,” when you just want to wear something fun, or if you need to keep your head warm. Do you have a hat you like the wear?
Have you ever made a hat out of newspaper? This classic craft is fun and easy. Check out the tutorial in the link below. And if you need newspaper, we have plenty at the library ready for recycling. Just ask!
Our story time this week focuses on celebrating spring. Ms Theresa talks about spring and how we can tell that it is spring. The books she is reading today are Spring is Here by Will Hillenbrand and The Thing About Spring by Daniel Kirk.
For craft ideas related to spring, refer to the link from last week’s story time and/or come in to get a spring craft kit.
