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.

PPL Summer Reading Program Party










What a great time we had at our party! As you can see we had some interesting animals in the children's room! We had a baby alligator, a hegehog, a tarantula, a boa constrictor, a ferret, and a baby wallaby. These animals came from all over the world. I can't remember now which animal came from where, except for the baby wallaby. He/she was from Australia.

Our attendance wasn't what it has been in the past so next year we will work on reaching out and seeing about growing again.

We are still open the same hours: Monday-Wednesday 12:00pm-7:00pm. Closed Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Open 12:00pm-5:00pm Saturday.

Our programs will begin again the week of September 12, 2011.

Joke of the day: What do you get when you cross a camera and an alligator?
Answer: A snapshot! ;)

Pacific Animals Tomorrow at PPL

Good Tuesday, young Pomonans! Pacific Animals will be here tomorrow, August 10th from 3:30-4:30pm. This picture was taken last year. Remember our air conditioner was out? Yea, I don't much want to remember that, but we did have our programs outside. This year our air is working fabulous and we will have this program inside. This is the baby alligator they brought last year and I'm sure they will be bringing either this one or another one like it. You don't want to miss this!!

Our Summer Reading Program will officially end tomorrow. But remember we are still here to help you get ready for school.

Beginning in September, our story times will be a bit different. Our schedule will be:

Tuesdays 12:15-12:45pm Preschoolers ages 2 to 5.

Wednesdays 12:15pm-12:45pm Infants ages 0 to 2.

See you here!!!!!
