Westerlo Library Notes for Friday, June 17, 2016

Just as in the spring the sparrows return to Capistrano and the buzzards return to Hinckley, Ohio, the frogs return to Lake Onderdonk and it’s — FROGDAMONIUM!  Big frogs, little frogs, bull frogs, cow frogs — they all return to the lake.

But, for the month of June, the frogs are visiting the Westerlo Public Library. There are ceramic frogs, metal frogs, even an Elvis Frog.  Check it out and learn everything you ever wanted to know about frogs — and have a smile at this fun collection. Thanks to Carrie and Bob Bogart for sharing.

Story time  

From 11 a.m. to noon on Wednesday mornings Miss Lee presents stories, songs, and movement activities designed for infants to children up to 5 years old. In addition to developing pre-reading skills, singing, moving to music, and playing instruments all help foster a sense of rhythm and timing that are essential elements in developing the part of a child’s brain that shapes math skills.

Story times are also a great opportunity to meet other parents of small children in Westerlo.

After school at the library

Join Miss Lee on Monday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. for homework help, games, crafts, puzzles, music, and a lot more. Programs will also include storytelling, hands-on demonstrations, and visits from special guests. Lee is also available on Thursdays from 3 to 8 p.m. for homework help.
