About the Children’s Department

Penny B. — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 18:17:38 +0000

The Children’s Department houses books, magazines, videos, learning kits, and more for babies, toddlers, and elementary school children. Family Fun Story Time for babies to school age children is held on Wednesday mornings from 9:30-9:50 followed by 10:00 and 10:30 times available for scheduled groups. Story Time activities include songs, stories, and crafts and helps introduce little ones to small groups. School-aged children from PreK-5th grades have their own program, Book Connection, held on Thursday afternoons from 3:30-4:30pm. Month-long sessions are developed around a theme. The afternoon begins with a snack and a story, and ends with a take-home craft related to the current theme. All programs are free. Children 7 and younger must have a parent stay with them, however, we encourage a parent of older children to remain on site. Printable flyers are available when programs are offered. Come check it out!

Once again, the library will offer free basic computer courses for adults. The classes are free but class size is extremely limited and registration is required. Adults may register by calling 262-2409 or visiting the library. Classes are designed to stand alone and do not need to be taken in sequence.

Classes will cover computer basics, internet basics, and provide an introduction to Microsoft Word processing. Additionally, two new courses are being offered. “HeritageQuest Genealogy Resources” will provide information about accessing census data and other resources available online to all library cardholders. “The New Library Catalog & Your Account” will explain how library users can renew materials and place reserves on popular titles from home.
