Hello young Pomonans! The time has come for me to retire and I just can't believe it! It's been a great 23 years. Shoot, I've been here longer than most of you have been alive! The Pomona Public Library is an awesome library and it will continue to be for many, many years.<br />
<br />
The most fun for me was to watch you all come in. Before you could read, you would sit with a picture book and make up the story by looking at the pictures. I loved that! Then you could read and I would watch with pride the joy you got from reading all on your own. Then you would come by and say "hi Ms. Lois" as you breezed on by to pick out your own chapter book. Then you adjusted over to the Young Adult area to find what treasures lay there. By the time I lost you to the adult room you still had a kind word to say to the lady who used to read to you. Goodbye my sweet Young Pomonans. You'll all be in my heart.<br />
<br />
Ms. Lois<br />

The bottom picture is a photograph of Charles and Caroline Ingalls or better known as "Pa" and "Ma".<br />
<br />
As always Judith did a marvelous job telling Laura's stories. The children were captivated with stories of bears that weren't really bears, of sleigh rides with pigs, and Indians and grasshoppers!<br />
<br />
A huge thank you to the Friends of the Pomona Public Library for sponsoring this event. They also provided the craft and refreshments. Hooray for the Friends!<br />

Good Tuesday young Pomonans! Our 47th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable will be February 2, 2013 from 1:00-3:00pm.<br />
<br />
A HUGE thank you to the Friends of the Pomona Public Library for sponsoring this yearly event. It doesn't seem possible we have been doing this for 47 years straight!<br />
<br />
This year we are happy to have Judith Helton (pictured on the left). As you can see she dresses up as Laura Ingalls Wilder and tells Laura's stories in the first person. For example, "I am Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder and when I was a child we had a dog named Jack." She tells Laura's stories with enthusiasm. The Friends will also be doing a craft. You will be making a bonnet to take home! Also this year we will have a musical group from the Pomona School of Arts and Enterprises to entertain us.<br />
<br />
SEE YOU HERE!!<br />
<br />
What: 47th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable<br />
<br />
Where: The Children's room at the Pomona Public Library<br />
<br />
Date and Time: February 2, 2013 from 1:00 to 3:00pm<br />
<br />
Joke of the day: Why did the dinosaur cross the road?<br />
Answer: Because chickens didn't exist yet! ;) <br />

Hello Young Pomonans. This is a very sad day for us at the Pomona Public Library. Life as we knew it won't be the same in the future. The GOOD news is that the library will stay open. And that is VERY good news. The downstairs of the library will be blocked off so everything will be on the upper level. We will be open shorter hours but please remember. WE ARE STILL HERE FOR YOU.<br />
<br />
We will be closed from August 16th through September 3rd. We will open on September 4th with these new hours:<br />
<br />
Monday: 2:00pm-7:00pm.<br />
Tuesday: 10:00am - 3:00pm<br />
Wednesday: 2:00pm-7:00pm<br />
Thursday: Closed<br />
Friday: Closed<br />
Saturday: 12:00pm-5:00pm<br />
Sunday: Closed <br />
<br />
I sincerely hope that you will take advantage of these hours. People are working on bringing the library back to its former self but that might take a year or two. Please hang in there with us. You young people are especially precious to us and we want to help you get a good education and teach you that reading is fun.<br />
<br />
I'm signing out for now but I will be back in September and I'll begin posting again.<br />
<br />
<br />
Love you Young Pomonans!<br />

We had a great time these past three weeks. This group got together and read different scripts and made puppets of their characters. It was fun just being around these kids. We laughed and encouraged each other on their projects. The top picture you see really nice kids. The second picture is their playful side!! Did I mention we had a lot of fun??</div>

This is the last program at the Pomona Public Library in the foreseeable future. On August 15, 2012 the City will close it's only library. Sometime after Labor Day we will open again with a much smaller staff. </div>

Most of you recognize our first performer of the year. He is our good friend Abbit the Average. He is my all time favorite children's entertainer. Once again he gave his fun and shocking program. By shocking I mean the way he makes things disappear. Not shocking as in electrocuting. You know what I mean. <br />
<br />
The second program was Pacific animals. Cindi brought some fun animals. I didn't get a picture of the baby alligator but that one got everybody's attention!<br />
<br />
This coming week, June 26th at 3:30pm we will have Franklin Haynes Marionettes. We have not had this program before so be sure to come and check it out. We saw him perform at a showcase we went to and were very impressed. SEE YOU HERE!!<br />

That's a week from Monday! Our theme for this year is:<br />
<br />
<b>Dream Big: Read!</b> It's really simple. All you do is come in and sign up. We give you a reading log to help you track the hours you read. When you have read for five hours, come in and show us your tracker that one of your parents have signed. Then we give you a prize! Is that great or what?? We give out prizes for every 5 hours read up to 20 hours!<br />
<br />
<b>Reading Buddies </b>also begins June 4, 2012. To participate in this program you must come in to the library to sign up. Fill out an application and we will put you with either a high school or college student to practice reading for 30 minutes. The hours for this program are: Monday and Tuesday 1-4pm. Wednesday 1-3pm. Come in anytime during those hours and you can practice your reading with an older student.<br />
<br />
<b>Teens, we have a program for you! The theme is: Own the Night.</b> Read and record your five hours on your reading log to earn special prizes and entries in our Grand Prize Drawing! You also can participate in our Reading Buddies program. Sign up at the Children's desk to help a young child read!<br />
<br />
<b>Adults, we haven't forgotten you. </b>The Adult Reading Program also begins June 4, 2012. Please go to or call our Reference Desk (909) 620-2043 ext. 2701 for details.<br />
<br />
<b>See you here at the Pomona Public Library June 4 - July 25, 2012 for all of our Summer Reading Programs for all ages!</b><br />

Hello young Pomonans! This is a picture of one of our crafts a few years ago. Blogger has changed the format and I'm still trying to figure this out! Please be patient while I sort through all this new stuff. As they say, I'm trying to teach an old horse a new trick! Help! ;)<br />
<br />
Joke of the day: What does a horse and librarian have in common? A tale/tail. :)<br />

We had a GREAT time at the 46th Annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable. Six students from the Ranch Hills Elementary 4th grade class performed a Reader's Theater of one of Laura's Stories. Then we had this GREAT band called the Whirled Peas Band. They were fantastic! They sang and danced and played instruments that the Ingalls would have used. For instance a banjo, fiddle, guitar and flute! They even taught us a dance!<br /><br />Thank you to the Whirled Peas Band for bringing Laura's life to us in Pomona, California!<br /><br />Joke of the day: What's the most slippery nation in the world?<br />Answer: Greece! ;)Ms. Loishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18311389421309179421noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734370503778311851.post-85770669556733036602012-02-01T17:07:00.000-08:002012-02-01T17:27:06.659-08:00The 46th Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0blQelF4G29fwIY0_np_qt8JDZC6bzeu8k5P2tZ7Gsnk5d_5Huj8gfQ4idB72I6OZtfD-fEwIsBDLIcZ2-GfzZngVT0xyjry1jttMtS1_kaeOssZKX2ZCdD7Dl-8UNNlOK-5gqw5bdfA/s1600/020610+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0blQelF4G29fwIY0_np_qt8JDZC6bzeu8k5P2tZ7Gsnk5d_5Huj8gfQ4idB72I6OZtfD-fEwIsBDLIcZ2-GfzZngVT0xyjry1jttMtS1_kaeOssZKX2ZCdD7Dl-8UNNlOK-5gqw5bdfA/s400/020610+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704339334638207186" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixwDn6hTW2761ePYh5pI7L-r5pxOfuVcPBIfbJcdL0DzhliIKb7BGsEPno9hILg_ZwPX4rASxEmHDpY5WiSArt-LcrGnYwO_fChz11uAF47NdGLpQmdrrbcsfnCZ_FwBNqgmukItTeZA/s1600/020610+002.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixwDn6hTW2761ePYh5pI7L-r5pxOfuVcPBIfbJcdL0DzhliIKb7BGsEPno9hILg_ZwPX4rASxEmHDpY5WiSArt-LcrGnYwO_fChz11uAF47NdGLpQmdrrbcsfnCZ_FwBNqgmukItTeZA/s400/020610+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704339338114772290" border="0" /></a>Good Wednesday, young Pomonans! This coming Saturday is our 46th annual Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable. This will be my 22 consecutive Sociable and I am really looking forward to it.<br /><br />One thing that is different this year is that we are having six fourth graders from Ranch Hills Elementary school do a Reader's Theater of one of the stories in Laura's book. They rehearsed today and they did a great job! They will be dressing in period clothing.<br /><br />After that we will have country western music from the Whirled Peas Band. They also will be in period clothing and will be using instruments such as the banjo, fiddle, and guitar.<br /><br />After that we will have a craft activity and refreshments. It will be a BLAST!! (And a blast from the past!)<br /><br />See you all here this Saturday February 4th from 1:00-3:00pm.<br /><br />Joke of the day: Why did the baseball player take his bat to the library?<br />Answer: His teacher told him to hit the books! ;)Ms. Loishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18311389421309179421noreply@blogger.com0
