Display case
For the month of September the library is displaying Bridget McDermott’s Littlest Pet Shop Collection. Nine-year-old Bridget, a fourth-grader at BKW, has been collecting the whimsical, miniature pet figurines for a number of years. Bridget’s collection includes many fine examples of the colorful critters.
Children’s programs
Thank you to all who joined our Summer Reading Program, “Dig Into Reading!” this year. We hope you had as much fun as we did.
Toddler/preschool story time meets on Wednesday at 10 a.m. Join Miss Lee for stories, songs, games and movement activities designed for children ages two to five 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.
Technology Walk-In Wednesday
Do you need to brush up on your computer skills or obtain basic skills? See Amy on Wednesdays between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. for free, personalized, one-on-one, hands-on instruction on how to work the mouse, navigate the Internet, set up an email account, use office automation programs, and more. If Wednesday mornings are not convenient, please contact us to schedule an appointment.
