Well, November just whooshed on by - here it is December. Rhymes That Bind wrapped up last week. It was great fun for eight moms and their little ones, from tiny babes up to 4 year olds. So much fun that we hope to do it again in February!
The kindergarten classes have started visiting the library again on a monthly basis. In November we read stories about dragons - The Dragon of Brog and Who Loves This Dragon? The classes made fantastic dragon pictures with tissue paper wings. There were happy dragons, scary dragons, mean dragons and dragons with beautiful eyes.
This month we are having a Christmas Story Hour for preschoolers at 1 pm on December 5th, with stories and crafts. The kindergarten classes are coming again on December 5th and 6th.
Cheryl and her craft team of Sydney and Laken had great fun doing crafts with the kids the evening of Nov. 30 for Moonlight Madness. The fireworks at 7 that kicked off this event were fabulous and the library was happy to be participating with all the businesses in this fun seasonal event.
Saturday Dec. 1 was the Christmas Market on at the Community Hall. The Friends of the Library was selling tickets for our Knit-a-thon afghan and book raffle - and word has it that we sold out. That's the first time ever . . . The raffle draw will be made on Friday December 14 - just in time for some lucky people to take these prizes home for Christmas.
We will be closed from Dec. 23 - 26 and Dec. 30 - Jan. 1 for the holidays, so come in for your reading selections soon. We have a great selection of both adult and kids' books on seasonal themes.
Have a very merry Christmas and a joyous New Year from all of us at Forestburg Public Library - Board Members, Staff and Volunteers!
