The girl and the chick

One of the little Buff Orpington chicks nestled into Hannah's hair last week. The chicks have been moved from the library to larger quarters at the Rhymer's house, but for now you can still watch them live 24/7 by going to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/chick-clicks. 

Knitting Group Going Strong

We have anywhere from 7-12 knitters coming to the library every Friday at 4:30 to knit together.  There is an instructor on hand for beginners or anyone needing assistance with a knitting project. Crocheters are welcome too! All skill levels are welcome.  Here are some pics from a recent session.

Old Equipment Still Has Appeal

I had to type a form today using our old IBM Selectric and the tap, tap, tapping attracted a curious onlooker. Patrick had never seen a typewriter before. When I was finished my work, I asked him if he wanted to try it out.  He used the typewriter to write out his spelling words and got the job done in record time!

Margaret Reviews Dust Bunnies books

Kindergartner Margaret M. enjoyed two new library books so much that she wanted to share her thoughts on them:  "Here Comes the Big Mean Dust Bunny" and "Rhyming Dust Bunnies", both written and illustrated by Jan Thomas.


Of the two books Margaret thinks the one about the Mean Dust Bunny is the funniest!  She likes that she is able to read many of the words in these books.  She also likes that they rhyme.  She thinks that the dust bunny named Bob is very funny because he cannot rhyme (however he has other talents... one being that he is very observant).

So come on down to the library to read these books and see what YOU think!

The Rhymer's baby chicks are at the library for the time being and we've got a camera set up so you can see what they are up to 24/7.  Check it out!
