At least 290 children and adults of all ages came to see Santa at the library! They were able to chat with him about what they would like for Christmas, and had their pictures taken. The event was sponsored by the Atkinson Friends of the Library, Mitchell Equipment and Silver Star Photography.
Thursday, November 6th, the Atkinson Public Library celebrated 20 years of being in the present building! Twenty-one past and present Library Directors, Board Members, and Employees attended the event, along with more than one hundred patrons!
Cookies, rolls and drinks were furnished for all the guests, along with miniature candy bars, magnets, mints and bookmarks. Scrapbooks and photo albums were laid out that document the building project, and events that have occurred over the years.
Library Director, Judy Hagan, along with the library board members and staff would like to thank everyone for coming in to celebrate with us!
The library held its Story Hour Finale last week outside on the parking lot. This event featured a fun obstacle course for all of the children to navigate through as many times as they wanted, and then go inside the library for a yummy lunch provided by the Friends of the Library!
Ninety-one children and adults attended the library’s third week of Crafts for Kids where they made camping lanterns, lazy ladybugs, and picked from an assortment of coloring pages about camping.
Monday there were sixty-seven children that came to Crafts for Kids at the library. They made fun S’more paper crafts, worked on activity and coloring pages, and enjoyed a treat.
