This will be the last post for summer library program 2009! A few reminders first:
Pre-Schoolers:
July 13-17th was arts and crafts week. The little ones had supplies for a touch and feel book in their packets. Leona Breeden from SHPTV came July 17th for a special story-video-and-craft-time. She handed out Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andrae to all the attendees.
July 20-24 was story week. Included was a page for parents to write a story with their little ones, supplies to make foam stick puppets, and a t-shirt and book from MCPC.
We hope everyone enjoyed this year! We will probably do the pre-school program in July again next year.
Regular Program:
July 15th we met for "Ham it up!" also known as puppet week. The story this week was a puppet show telling an underwater version of The Three Little Pigs. Although the volunteers had little time to practice, everyone still enjoyed the show. During craft time we made finger puppets from stretchy gloves, monster puppets from kleenex boxes, and edible puppets from banana slices on bamboo skewers. Below is the slide show:
July 22nd was our last program, themed "Imagine It, Create It". This week we read Silly Tilly by Eileen Spinelli. Although the story was short, the kids enjoyed all the silly situations Tilly got into. I was very "creative" during craft time, using up two different catch games from previous summer programs, as well as some magnet and pencil topper crafts from National Library Week earlier this year. Our snack was an old favorite: frosting on animal crackers. Here are the pictures:
- Pre-schooler families in the program have until Friday, July 31st to pick up at-home packets. They are waiting at the front desk.
- Regular program attendees (age 5-5th grade) had until this Saturday, July 25th to turn in reading goal charts for their certificate and prize. All crafts left at the end of the last program have been tossed. A few children turned in charts but didn't get their certificate and prize. Those are still waiting at the front desk.
- Teens have until next Friday, July 31st to finish their reading goal charts or submit anything to the teen website.

Teen Program:
Our Teen Program that met at the library ended in June, but the Teen Online Summer Library Program (TSLP2009) ends on Friday, July 31st. You can visit the website by clicking here. Our final week's theme was "Express Yourself...with Technology!" Brandi Watson made the winning entry in our contest, a video library ad for the children's and YA department.
