Welcome to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Children's Room!

Ms. Clara Webber was the first children's librarian of Pomona Public Library. A long time correspondent with Mrs. Laura Ingalls Wilder, she was instrumental in having the Children's Room named in honor of Mrs. Wilder on May 25, 1950. Today, we house the original hand written manuscript for the novel Little Town on the Prairie. Every February, we host the Laura Ingalls Wilder Sociable in honor of Mrs. Wilder's February 7th birthday.

Halloween Trick or Treating A Success!












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.

We had some slightly scary stories and trick or treated around the library.

A GREAT time was had by all!

Joke of the day: What did the alien say to the book?
Answer: Take me to your reader! ;)

Halloween Trick or Treat - We Make 'em Cute in Pomona!














Did we ever have fun today? You betcha! Every year the Tuesday before Halloween we dress up and go trick or treating around the library. It's one of my all time favorite things to do! Take a group of toddlers, dress them up and it just doesn't get any cuter than that!

The stories today were: Big Pumpkin, There Once Was A Witch, Take a Ride on the Ghost Train, and The Chocolate Chip Ghost. We trick or treated in these departments:
Technical Services, Administration, the sorting room, adult reference, and the circulation desk. I always like going downstairs into technical services because it is the one time a year that the public can see that space.

Thanks for participating and I'll see you next week. Stay cute!

Good Halloween Fun at Story time





We had a great time today at story time. We had very enthusiastic children having good spooky stories and finger plays. Don't forget that next week, October 28th at 12:15pm, we will have Halloween stories and then we will trick or treat around the whole library! What fun. Be sure to wear your Halloween costume, we will provide a bag. We start out in the children's room and then go downstairs to Technical Services. The public is never allowed down there except for once a year when we get to go through there! From there we will go to Administration, to the pages sorting room, upstairs to the Adult reference desk, and then end at the circulation desk.

Be sure to wear your costumes and frighten the wits out of all of us!

Joke of the day: Why do witches carry cats on their broomsticks?
Answer: Because elephants get airsick! :)
