| Our first keiki event of the 2010 year, a Dr. Seuss birthday party, to be held on Saturday, February 27th, will be part of the nation's largest reading celebration – the NEA's “Read across America Day.” In 2009, over forty participants enjoyed readings of two favorite Dr. Seuss books accompanied by Dr. Seuss related arts and crafts activities. Candace Bishop, one of our dedicated Friends' volunteers, was our wonderful reader. Following the activities, birthday cake was served and prizes given out to all of the children in attendance. If success is measured by the smiles on cake-streaked faces and the happy thank-yous, the party was a great success. The Friends of the North Shore Library want to thank all volunteers who made the day possible. WE'RE JUST GETTING STARTED ... We have been working to increase activities for the youngsters of our community. Beginning in February, we will resume the Keiki Storytime on a monthly story basis. Another idea we are considering is a Friend and Me Book Club for grades 4 – 6. As we plan future events, we welcome parents' input. Contact any board member or leave your suggestions in the Friends’ box located in the front of the library. Things to look for in 2010:

STORY TIME FOR KEIKI Everyone recognizes the life-long importance of reading as a form of entertainment and enlightenment. That's why it's important to create, in children, an interest in the reading process. One way to achieve that is to create a positive narrative experience through the regularity of a routine story time for younger children.
Bring your children (keiki) to the library whenever the library offers a Saturday story time session for young children. Check the calendar for dates that Children's Storytime will be offered. |
