Kite Craft

>Our monthly craft time is nearly here! This is the kite you all will be making. This Wednesday Grandma Sue will be showing you how to make kites. I say Grandma Sue will show you because crafts are very confusing for me. Let's just say I have no talent in this area. Let's just say Grandma Sue asks me not to help. :)

Celebrate! National Library Week

Celebrate! National Library Week
Originally uploaded by Asheboro Public Library

April 13-15, 2008 is National Library Week. Wherever you live, take time to go into your local Public Library. Get reacquainted with it and check out a book that looks good. Of course you should do this more than once a year but we live in a busy world.

Chase's Calendar of Events explains this event:

"A national observance sponsored by the American Library Association. Celebrates libraries and librarians, the pleasures and importance of reading and invites library use and support."

So come on in and celebrate with us.

Tuesday story time: 10:15am
Wednesday Grandparents and Books 3:30pm
Thursday infant story time 10:00am

Wacky Library Books:

"I Can Do Anything" by Will Power
"How to Get Along With Your Sister" by Sharon Sharealike
"Jewelry Collecting" by Pearl Nicholas
"The Unfinished Story" by Cliff Hanger
"You Don't Say" by Ida Clare
"Oops, I Did It Again" by Miss Take
"Embarrassed in the Shower" by Kurt N. Fell

See you soon! By the way, Ms. Nissa calls me a "blogalarian". It has a nice ring to it!

We are hearing such great things about this center so please come in and take advantage of this free offer.

Joke of the day: Why was the dinosaur afraid to go back to the library?
Answer: It's books were 60 million years overdue. (We'd be OK with that if it just paid it's fine.) :)

Good joke books at PPL

Hey Pomona kids: Do you like jokes? We have great joke books here at PPL (Pomona Public Library). Try these:

Knock Knock! (Who's there?)
Peas. (Peas who?)
Peas to meet you!

And that's how we feel about Pomona's kids and teens. "Peas" come in and meet us. We're fun people who love kids and teens!

-What do people do in clock factories?
Answer: They make faces all day!

We all love a good school joke:
-What animal gets in trouble when it takes a test?
Answer: The Cheetah!

And how about a nice tongue twister?
-The doctoring doctor doctors the doctor
the way the doctoring doctor
wants to doctor the doctor
Not the way the doctored doctor
wants to be doctored.

One of our resident teens advises this: Say "toy boat" many, many times. toyboattoyboattoyboattoyboattoyboat.............. very,very fast!
