Giraffes In The Library!

by

The children’s room of the Gardiner Public Library has recently received a large quantity of new LEGO building pieces through the largess of the LEGO Company & distributed by the Maine State Library Emergent/Family Literacy and Children’s Services Department.

 

 

We plan to sponsor a monthly club giving children (adults too) a theme or idea of something to create using the blocks.  Our first creations were “Giraffes”.  We have 7 delightful examples on display & hopefully more will be built during the month of November.
Come on into the library and make a giraffe to join the others.
And next month we’ll make an airplane!

FIZZ BOOM READ

by

The Gardiner Public Library summer reading program for 2014 is off to a great start!

 

Summer is the perfect time for kids to read books just for fun.  No tests, book reports or pressure involved.

Our first story hour/craft day involved making markers to identify plants that were acquired to go into our library garden as well as the actual planting of flowers, herbs & vegetables.

 

Unlike past years, the sun shone on our endeavor and the children worked hard to get everything planted.

 

Check out our calendar for future events.
Everyone welcome!  

Summer Reading at the Library!

by

Summer vacation will soon be upon us!!! – which means Summer Reading Program at  the library.
This year’s state wide theme is “Dig Into Reading”, the first day to start is June 17th and the last day to read is August 3rd.
Our reading program is for all ages and it’s a wonderful incentive to – turn off the tube, log off the computer and silence the iPhones in favor of old fashioned togetherness.  Read together or discuss what you’ve read on your own. 
Reading doesn’t use any electricity, is environmentally responsible, may increase your vocabulary and general knowledge and can be enjoyed for your entire life.
Call or visit the library for more information beginning June 10th.
Charlene Wagner, Children’s Librarian
