  • I'm Back.....

    It is May and I am finally back to the library after a long recovery period.  OK I am still recovering and if you see me these days I am accompanied by a very fancy cane, hopefully for not too long!

    I want to thank everyone who attended all the tween programs offered in March and April.  Don't forget about the May programs.  This Saturday's Song Writing Workshop however has been canceled.  We do have a dance workshop on May 20 at 5:00 where you can learn some new dances that you know everyone else is doing at all of the parties.  Also on May 22 is a Tween Movie Night, 7:00, popcorn and the movie Enchanted.  Bring a few friends and have a fun night.  Of course in June Vivian Burns from So You...will be back, she will be doing a Jewelry Workshop on June 7 and How to Make American Girl Doll Clothing on June 28.  Mark your calendars, you won't want to miss these.

    Now that I am back I will be working on some Summer programs.  What do you want to see here at the library, tell me, I want to plan what you want to do.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.....

  • March is here...

    Can you believe it, another month has finished and we are that much closer to Spring.  I hope you have been checking the website's event calendar and are taking note of the great programs we have coming up this Spring.   A lot of them require registration so make  sure you sign up online.

    I did want everyone to know that my blog will be quiet for about a month.  I will be out of the office recovering from tendon surgery. 

    On that note, see you at a Tween program.

  • Hello Bloggers....

    Just wondering where everyone is, have not seen the "usual suspects" around at the Tween programs.  We have some great stuff coming up in March, make sure you register though, space is limited and I would hate to see you get shut out. 

    Vivian will be back to make beaded bracelets and as well as Boaz from Hobby Quest who will be making model airplanes with the Tweens.

    We are also hosting our own version of Project Runway and Lego Mania, bring your creative side to the library and have some fun.

    Make sure you keep checking the website, all of the new programs scheduled are listed there.  For instance in April we will be having cooking and cake decorating, you will not want to miss those.

    As always let me know what you are thinking, what programs do you want to see here at the library. I am always open to suggestions.

    Toodles,
