Too cold outside?  Come warm up at the Taylor Library

 

After a very mild start to the New Year, winter weather has finally settled in, bringing with it a flurry of activity at the Taylor Library.  The Christmas books have made their way to the attic storage area and the winter and Valentine’s  Day books have appeared on the shelves in the children’s section of the library.

Tiny Tot and Pre-school Story Hours have started once again for the winter session.  We have a few remaining spaces available in the Tiny Tots and the Preschool Story Hours.  Tiny Tots have their sessions on Mondays and Fridays.  Both sessions start at 10 AM.  Children must be registered to participate and the ages for this group are 6 months to two years old.  During these sessions, the little ones enjoy stories, songs, rhymes and music.  The Preschool Story Hours are for ages 2 and up.  These are held on Monday afternoons at 1 PM, and Wednesdays at either 10 AM or 1 PM.  Children must be registered for these programs also.  They enjoy a variety of stories with a theme based craft each week.    The theme for the Tiny Tots and the Story hours is winter (snowmen, snow and of course Valentine’s Day).

Continue to visit our website and our online catalog to keep up with all the new bestsellers.  If you see a book you might want to read, place a reserve on it or come into the library to check it out.  Even the children’s books can be reserved. 

Did you know that the Taylor Library has wireless internet access and public access laptop computers?  Bring your own laptop in or borrow one of ours to surf the net or get caught up on your email.  Check the library for details.

It may be cold outside, but the Taylor Library staff is already in full planning mode for this year’s summer reading program.  This year’s theme is Dream Big, Read.   Everyone is working hard to make sure that this year’s program will be a fun time for all.  There will be story hours and craft classes to join.  We will be hiring entertainment too.  Plans are in the works to have an American Girl Doll Tea Party at the library this summer.  Watch for details when our calendar becomes available.  Of course, we will have our carnival night to kick off the activities on site at the library.
