🎃 We had some spooky fun at First Friday Storytime at the City of Wolfforth Library 👻

We read The Little Old Lady Who Wasn’t Afraid of Anything, and Room on the Broom! Then we kept the Halloween fun going by coloring pumpkins and witch hats, creating silly-scary faces with stickers, going on a Monster Hunt, and getting all our wiggles out with Halloween Freeze Dance! 🧙‍♀️🕸️🐰

There were lots of stories, laughs, movement, and creativity… exactly how we like it! We can’t wait to see our storytime buddies again in November! 🍁

Here was the setup before our First Friday Storytime at the City of Wolfforth Library!📚 With it being the start of Labor Day weekend, we had a very tiny (but mighty) group! One of our little friends was 2 years old and could speak 3 languages!!! 🤯

Recess is supposed to be fun… but friendships can get a little tricky sometimes. 🦈💛

TOMORROW, for September’s First Friday Storytime, we’re reading Hammerhead’s Recess Challenge, a fun story about friendship, problem-solving, and what to do when things don’t go quite the way we hoped.

Bring your little ones and join us for a FREE morning of stories, fun, and time together! 📚 No registration needed, just come join us at the City of Wolfforth Library!

We’re honored to share that our Executive Director Abby Reed was recently selected to receive the Q2 Community Award from Tyler Technologies in Lubbock.

Abby was nominated by Mark Cavazos, Secretary of FGO’s Board of Directors. In his nomination, Mark wrote:

“Under her leadership, Family Guidance & Outreach has expanded its impact through free online parenting classes, shaken baby syndrome prevention training, school-based programs, and support services for teen parents. Recognized as a leading voice in child abuse prevention, Abby is frequently sought out for her expertise and has helped countless families access the tools, education, and resources they need to thrive”

This recognition means a great deal, particularly because it came through a nomination from someone who has served alongside FGO and believes so strongly in our mission.

Thank you to Mark for the nomination and to Tyler Technologies for the award! 💙

Today, we lost an extraordinary artist, storyteller, philanthropist and champion for children. 💗

Dolly Parton gave us a lot of reasons to remember her and we're especially grateful for the way she used her success to protect something incredibly precious: childhood.

Thank you, Dolly 💗
