Good day, young Pomonans! Is this tree awesome or what?? Our Reference department put up this Halloween tree in honor of Ray Bradbury. Our Big Read this year is Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451. Bradbury also wrote Halloween Tree so this is our way of honoring him at this time of year.
Good Tuesday, young Pomonans! We had a GREAT time in story time today. Everyone showed up at 12:15pm so we had one large group trick or treating. I have always said that only cute children live in Pomona and I think this proves it.
Today our toddlers participated in the Big Read. Since they are too young to read "Fahrenheit 451, we did stories about fire trucks and firefighters. In November we will have a Pomona Firefighter come to talk to us about what they do. Cool!
Good day, young Pomonans! Pictured here are toy storage boxes made by our friend Ren. He makes toys called Scrappy Toys. He had donated toys and one of the boxes for us to store our toys in. They look really great and add character to our story hour room!
