All 5th and 6th grade students

On Wednesday, Sept. 19 and Thursday Sept. 20, we visited the Preschool classrooms at St. Boniface and Elgin Public Schools.  We read the story “The Golden Acorn” by Katy Hudson.  It was about a squirrel who loves to win.  For the past eight years, she has always won the Golden Acorn Hunt – on her own.  But this year she has to be a team player.  Will she be able to do it?  The book centers around teamwork and the importance of friendship.  After reading the story, they all made their own golden acorn.  

Activity Time for the older children concluded on Thursday, June 29. We had approximately 28 children participate. The hour included a friendship salad, games and snacks. We enjoyed having Erica Brown from the Antelope County Extension office leading the activity times.

Story time wrapped up on June 28. We have had approximately 40 children attend story time throughout the month of June. On Wednesday, June 28, we ended with the book Holey Moley by Bethan Clarke and played some games. We all enjoyed the s’mores relay, feed the bear, duck, duck goose and roasting marshmallows. Thanks to all the moms for helping with the games.

We also would like to thank Tenley, Aubrey, McKenna, Chloe and Molly for helping with the crafts. A huge thank you to the moms who provided snacks for story time. It was greatly appreciated.

The Library will be Closed Monday, July 3^rd and Tuesday, July 4^th in observance of 4^th of July. Happy Independence Day!

Summer Reading Challenge will end on July 7. The last day to shop at the Camp Store will be July 12. Remember the maximum number of Book Bucks you can earn is 30. Keep Reading.

On June 22, the kids painted rocks for Activity time.

In a world where you can be anything    Be Kind.   Camp Kindness is the theme for our Summer Reading program that continues through the month of June.  We have 52 children in preschool to first grade registered for story time. For our first Story Time, the children made kindness monsters after listening to the story Be Kind by Pat Zietlow Miller.  If you are out and about, you might see the Kindness Monsters in various store windows.  The children wanted to share that we should all be kind to one another.  To finish out the first week of summer reading, we read the story Bear Hug by Jean Reidy.  On Thursday, June 8, the students in grades 2 – 5 gathered for activity time lead by Erica Brown, intern with the Antelope County Extension Office.   We are excited that we have had such a great turnout for the beginning of our summer reading program. Below are pictures from Story Time and Activity time.

Story time for ages 3 to six (preschool to 1st grade) will start Monday, June 5, from 10:00 to 10:45 at Elgin Public Library. Come join us for stories, crafts and some fun at “Camp Kindness”.

In honor of Earth Day on April 22, we visited the first and second graders at St. Boniface school on Thursday, April 20. We read The Lorax by Dr. Seuss. This story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness and speak up for others. The story tells us that one small seed or child can make a difference. We ended story time with a craft of the Earth.
