Hippity Hop Today

Every Wednesday we have a baby lapsit program called hippity hop.  In this program we sing songs, do fingerplays, recite nursery rhymes and read short books.  The program is geared for newborns to 2 years old.

We played our Twihard jeopardy today and it was lots of fun.  The grand winner was Adrianna who had 4400 points.  Great job!!!!  She really knew her Twiligt books :)

Children's Book Week!

Happy Children's Book week!  We have lots of exciting events to celebrate this important week.  Today we kick off with the Twihard contest, the bookmark contest and the special "I love to read" storytime.  The theme this year for children's book week is Gold Medal Reading.  We have the pleasure, thanks to the Canadian Council grant, to have author James Heneghan at the library on Thursday at 10:00 a.m.

City of Bones - on audiobook

I am currently listening to City of Bones by Cassandra Claire.  I had heard the hype on this series awhile ago but never got around to reading it.  I even had the book in my house without realizing it ...  it was a birthday present to my son a few years back.  The library just received the audio version of the book so I grabbed it because of my long car treks back and forth from work.  May I say that this is a great book!  I sat in the parking lot of the library listening to the story, not wanting to go to work so that I could hear the rest of the chapter.  Audiobooks are a great way to keep up on your reading, especially if you are in the car for a long time or taking public transit.  Come and see me for some good audiobook suggestions :)

Website of the Day

Do you like dinosaurs?  Do you want to find out some interesting facts about them?  This past week our storytimes were all on dinosaurs.  Did you know that Brachylophosaurus may be its official name, but many affectionately know this relatively "new" dinosaur as "Elvis," due to its unusual head crest that resembles the famous rock 'n' roll singer's hair.
