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.

New Furniture!



We have new furniture! The furniture you see in these pictures are where the cabin used to be. Don't worry! We still have the cabin. We just moved it out on the patio. We got the furniture and the new toys you see around the library through a grant called ELF (early learning families.) We have all of the toys available on Mondays from 12:00-2:00pm. These are mainly for young children.

As of our last count, we have 840 readers signed up for the reading program! Our goal is to reach 1,000 so if you haven't signed up, come on in!

Another joke of the day:
Knock-knock.
Who's there?
Sahara.
Sahara who?
Sahara on your head is standing up! :)

ELF is Early Learning Family




We have more new toys for our ELF program! We have ELF every Moday morning at 10:00am. Come in with your infants and toddlers and play with these and many other inter active toys. Of course we always have books for infants and toddlers as well.

By the way, for all you David Allen fans, we had a David Allen sighting today in the Library. I was too chicken to ask him if I could take a picture of him for the blog but maybe next time!

Joke of the day: Two muffins are baking in the oven. One muffin says to the other, "Isn't this great! We're turning such a lovely golden brown." The other muffin screams... "AHHHHHH! A TALKING MUFFIN!" :)
