School's out for summer

Remember the last day of school and everyone would be chanting the rhyme - no more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks. Kids today are probably still chanting that rhyme or something similar to it. Kids are under a lot more stress compared to 30 years ago. They are expected to be somewhat reading and writing by the time they hit Grade 1. Teachers are also under a lot of stress trying to teach these skills. I want to wish both students and teachers a wonderful summer. Kids - turn off your electronics and play outside (it is going to be a pretty dry summer). Teachers - enjoy the carefree days of summer.

The first day of summer

What a wonderful way to start off summer - lots and lots of sunshine! I was so happy to hear on the radio that not only are we having a beautiful day but that it will last for 15 hours! So why not drop by the library, pick up a book and then head outside and read. Have a wonderful day :)

Reptizoo comes to the library

Reptizoo came to the library last Sunday to do a small mammal and reptile show. There were lots of cool animals and reptiles including rabbits, ferrets, hedgehogs and snakes.

TD Summer Reading Club

Destination Jungle is the the theme this year of our summer reading club. Sometimes we need a little push to read in the summer especially if you are doing lots of other activities (swim team, soccer, baseball,relaxing ...). The great thing about joining the reading club is that there is no pressure to read a certain amount of books. We do have awards to the top readers in each age category but we also have LOTS of doorprizes at our closing ceremony as well. So why don't you come by the children's desk and pick up your kit today.
