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.

Cal Poly Homework Assistance Party a HUGE Success!















Our homework center party rocked! Again, I didn't get everyone's picture because I didn't have parental consent, but I did get quite a few for you to see how much fun and food we had!

As you can see we had a celebrity appearance by Billy, the Bronco, mascot of Cal Poly Pomona. What a treat! He was very polite and didn't scarf down all of the pizza!

Jonathon, who is holding his reading achievement certificate, shared with everyone how much the homework center has helped him. That was FANTASTIC!!! Honestly, I don't want to say things a million times over but this Homework Center is a winning situation for all involved. The Cal Poly students relate so well to the children and the children love it! We all love it!

The homework center is open to all children in first through sixth grade. If you need help, help is here. If you just don't want to do your homework by yourself, come on in and you'll have plenty of company. The center will be closed for the holidays but will open up Tuesday January 6th from 4:00-6:00pm.

Hooray for Cal Poly and the Homework Assistance Center!

Another joke of the day: What do you get if Santa goes down the chimney when a fire is lit?
Answer: Crisp Kringle! :)

The Summer Reading Program is Winding Down


Winding Down at Night
Originally uploaded by fnlheaven413
Tomorrow is the last day you all can turn in reading hours. This summer has gone by sooooo fast! It's been our best year to date with our final numbers at 1,023. We haven't been through all of the cards yet, so that number could go up or down. I will post the final numbers next week.

Remember that our party this year will be Wednesday August 13th at 10:00am. We will be holding the party outside next to the county courthouse. Our magician is our friend Jeff Abbit known as Abbit the Average. He is a great entertainer and I know everyone will enjoy it.

See you on Wednesday!

Joke of the day: Knock-knock
Whose there?
Gladys.
Gladys who?
Gladys Friday! :)
