Hildreth Public Library

The after school crowd had fun playing with play-doh on National Play-Doh Day!

We listened to an oldie but goodie story this morning at storytime – Mrs. Wishy-Washy by Joy Crowley. Other activities included retelling the story using paper characters, bubble fingerplay and popping bubbles to the song Poppin Bubbles. We also learned that a bar of Ivory soap floats and has pockets of air in it from whipping the soap too long. Next we microwaved cut up pieces of a bar of Ivory soap and watched as it grew bigger and fluffier. We also got to feel how soft it was.

We had a fantastic morning at the library with Katrina’s sister, Pat Pickering from Aurora. Pat taught the ladies under glazing, glazing and how to throw pottery. It is a hobby she has been doing for four years. Mugs, bubble bowl, stencil bowls and bowls on the pottery wheel were all made. We are so appreciative of Pat and her visit to our library to share her talents with us.

It was a full house in the library for Friday Evening Bingo. Families and bingo fans of all ages attended. Alyson, Library Board President, was the caller. Prizes were donated by individuals and businesses. Twenty nine lucky people won bingo prizes! Bingo will meet again in September with the date and time yet to be determined.

At storytime this morning the children listened to books about butterflies, played our instruments in a butterfly marching band and did movement to a Bubblegum song. Our craft was a butterfly made with colorful pattern band aids, dipped our fingers in ink pads for the wings, and added wiggly eyes and antennas. Everyone got a butterfly shaped treat bag to take home.

All ages welcome, no cost to play, prizes available to choose from – Drop in for some FUN!!!

All three recipe clubs met to kick-off a new recipe club year. Everyone brought a finger food and Jackie Greening gave a demonstration on fall decorating. It was a fun evening!
