Halloween At Garfield Park!

Good Saturday, young Pomonans! Garfield Park had a great Halloween celebration this afternoon. I saw some of you library folks there! It was great to see you. I was only able to stay about 45 minutes because I needed to come back to the library.

There were games to play, crafts, jumping thing (I don't know what they're called!), and story time and they were going to have a barbeque.

Joke of the day: What do ghosts add to their breakfast cereal?
Answer: Booberries! ;)

Infant Story Time Trick-Or-Treat!

We had another good time this afternoon with our infant story time group. We had shorter stories than yesterday but these kids were just as cute!

Joke of the day: Why didn't the skeleton cross the road?
Answer: Because he didn't have any guts! ;)

Preschool Trick-Or-Treat!

Good Tuesday, young Pomonans! I don't think there is anything cuter than a preschooler in a Halloween costume!! We had a great time! We started with stories and songs in the story hour room and then we went trick-or-treating around the library.

Joke of the day: How do witches keep their hair in place while flying?
Answer: Scare Spray! ;)

Joke of the day: What do you call a goblin who gets too close to the bonfire?
Answer: A toasty ghosty. ;)

WOW!! Did we have a great time with willow?? YES!! Willow is a wonderful dog and her trainer, Officer Hernandez was a great storyteller. He told us of her work as a k9 detective. In fact, Willow received an award from the City of Pomona. Officer Hernandez and Willow were flown up to Northern California to help find a fugitive who was hiding in a huge wilderness area and was armed with a gun. They had been looking for this fugitive for five weeks with no luck. When officer Hernandez and Willow got there, they found the fugitive on the second day.

We are so proud of them! As you can see in the pictures, Willow loves everyone. She's very good with small children. Isn't her badge cool??

If you weren't here you missed a wonderful time. We asked Officer Hernandez that when Willow retires, would she be willing to be a library dog?? Please??? :)

Joke of the day: What do dogs and trees have in common?
Answer: They both have bark! :)

WILLOW OUR POLICE DOG WILL BE IN STORY TIME TUESDAY!

Good Saturday, young Pomonans. This Tuesday you won't want to miss story time because Willow and her trainer will be in story time to tell you what they do. Willow just won an award from the City of Pomona. Be here to hear her story.

Joke of the day: How do you stop a werewolf from howling in the back seat?
Answer: Put him in the front! ;)
