Story Time All the Time : tips & tricks!
“Story Time All the Time: Ideas, Tips, and Tricks for Planning Your Own Story Time” classes are open to the public and useful for home, school, babysitting, church or daycare. Held July 20 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, the class provides ideas and help for low cost, fun story times getting preschoolers ready to read. Families with children under the age of 5 who attend “Story Time All the Time” get one free book. “Story Time at Home” kits are provided. The kits con-tain book suggestions and supplies for a simple craft or activity that make it easier for parents and caregivers to have story times at home, developing reading readi-ness in early childhood. The library’s “Racing to Read” grant for early childhood literacy is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Ser-vices and Technology Act as administered by the Missouri State Library, a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.
THANK YOU to the University of
Missouri Extension Family Nutrition Educa-tion Program for their participation in 2015 Children’s Summer Reading, teaching kids about healthy food with heroic fun and games!
“At once beautiful and terrifying, ‘Still Alice’ is a
moving and vivid depiction of life with early-onset
Alzheimer’s disease that is as compelling as ‘A
Beautiful Mind’ and as unforgettable as Judith
Guest's ‘Ordinary People’.”—www.goodreads.com
Join us @ the Library for lively discussion of books chosen by club members!
