letters from a librarian--turn off tv week

April is an exciting month here at the library. One reason is that it's time for our Junior Volunteer Appreciation Party! We are fortunate to have so many smart and dedicated kids to assist us in our daily tasks. Junior volunteers ages 9-15 help us with everything from cleaning the baby toys to writing book reviews. To thank them, we'll be hosting a pizza and ice cream party with games and prizes for those volunteers whose work has been exceptional or who have logged the most hours.
We're pleased to offer a slew of fun new programs and bring back some old favorites. As always we have storytimes for all ages happening almost every day. For you trivia fans this month, read up on Ramona Quimby and her friends to compete in the Beverly Cleary Trivia Contest as a part of that author's birthday celebration. We children's librarians plan to turn off our TVs during TV Turnoff Week April 23-29 and challenge you to do the same. To help you, we've planned family game nights for each evening of the week that we are open. In addition, we've always got fantastic book recommendations for kids of any age. Be sure to check out these and other great programs this month. Hoping to see you here!
love,
your friendly librarian
