The library is happy to introduce Miss Norma (named for the owner of my favorite porch goose!) She will be living at the library and is excited to share all her outfit choices!

Thanks to my sister for remembering my love of the porch goose from my childhood ❤️

Today our Storytime was all about Pizza. We read about Pete’s Perfect Pizza Party! Then they made pizza shapes with playdoh, added pepperoni pom poms with tweezers, did pizza lacing cards, did dot art pizzas and colored books about pizza. Then we enjoyed some cheese pizza for our snack - which was their favorite part. 🍕

Our library is blessed with such an AMAZING elementary school to partner with! I had messaged Mrs. Aeikens to see if she would be willing to rock out a challenge like this next year. Her response, "Why Wait? Let's do it! I'll read 3,000 minutes this summer!"

Any kids that read 3,000 minutes between today and the start of the new school year will be able to spin our prize wheel and receive a prize. It was so fun to see kids in the library reading this morning - ready to beat Mrs. Aeikens!

Today our Storytime was all about ambulances! Melissa & Brandi from the George Fire and EMS were here to kick off EMS week with the library kids. Melissa read them a book about what EMTs do and then they got to explore in the rig. Then we did some coloring sheets and do a dot pages. We finished the day with red, white, and blue donuts and some “bandaids” for snack. The kids all got a sticker badge to wear home! A huge thank you to the GEMS, and especially these two ladies, for always supporting my wild ideas and teaching these kids all about ambulances!🚑
