Your Imagination Station
Hello Friends, welcome back to Your Imagination Station. Weâre so glad you decided to stop back in to see what weâve been up to since we were last together, and to see what we have planned now.
A quick look backâ¦we were thrilled to have had 17 kiddos come in for our Easter Egg/Book Hunt. What a FANTASTIC turn out !! The kiddos enjoyed hunting for a book that had an Easter Egg attached to it, because when they found it, they got to take it home, as a gift from all of us here at the library. For our older children, we had a library scavenger hunt that was also well received. They too, got a book of their own. Once books were found, the hunters âhoppedâ on over to decorate eggs. Stop by our Facebook Page or Group, Lynn Murray Memorial Library, and see all the fun that was had.
We also shared our selection of books on the Holocaust. April 8 was National Holocaust Remembrance Day, and we had books displayed and checked out, all week long. Be sure to check out our âfeaturedâ table every month. It sits to your immediate right, as you walk in.
So, what are we doing for yaâll now, you ask? In honor of Earth Day coming April 22, we are beginning a recycling program, right here at the library. Thatâs rightâ¦â¦bring your recycles here and give to Connie or Shauna, and weâll take care of them. This will be an ongoing program for us now, and weâll be accepting cardboard (broken down), paper (junk mail, store ads, newspapers, scrap paper, anything paper), and aluminum cans (rinsed please, to avoid bees and ants). Donât forget to bring in any books or magazines youâve read and puzzles youâve worked. We always welcome those.
Now for the really EXCITING news⦠Do you have kiddos who love to get their hands dirty? Then you need to mark your calendar and come join us Saturday April 24 from 11am-1pm for some fun with SEEDS & TREES. Weâre having an outside day of fun planting seeds and trees, to celebrate Arbor Day. Weâll be planting flower and vegetable seeds in cups and watching them grow. And, weâll plant trees in cups so the kiddos can take home, care for and replant when the time is right. And lastly, weâll be making Bug Houses. Doesnât this sound like a fun day? We want to thank Mon Power for our saplings for the kiddos. You can call ahead to the library at 304-387-1010 to be sure and reserve a spot, or just show up that day. Weâll have books displayed for Earth Day, Arbor Day, seeds, flowers and trees for you to borrow. Weâve got some color sheets for the kiddos too.
Speaking of the kiddos, If you have âlittle(s)â age birth to 5, donât forget that you can tune in to our Virtual Story Hour every Fri at 1:00. Youâll find us each week on our Facebook Page or Group, at Lynn Murray Memorial Library. We always post the book weâve read, a color sheet, and patterns for the craft that week. So gather your âlittle(s)â and enjoy a story with us. Beginning in May, weâll be having Story Time for elementary age children too, and weâre really looking forward to that.
Remember, grab a book and let your imagination take you places youâve never been.
