Our city has a fabulous children's library. It is one of my favorite things about living here. Their children's programs and so well organized and awesome for the kiddos (not to mention the amazing staff). They have storytime for pre-k groups as well as toddlers and even babies have their own. Not to mention the puppet shows, movies, and special events they host on a regular basis. We go to storytime every single week. My children know "their" librarian by name "Miss Jane" and have been known to chase down people who look like her in public yelling "Miss Jane! It's me!!" I think it is good for them to learn to love the library at an early age, and I am grateful to be someplace that is making that sooo very easy.
Here we are getting our name tags at the beginning of storytime. Yes....Dallin is glaring at me.
Every week the librarian has the children line up and tell her their name for a nametag (that goes along with the theme for the week) Older children can spell their name for her. Dallin enjoys speelling his name (and everyone else's who is with us). It is pretty impressive....until he starts to correct the librarian "You know...ONLY the first letter of the name should be capitalized...the rest are lower case so that is wrong." (Good job son...now if you could be that diligent with your own school work!)
Check out our totally rockin hats on hat day storytime! Except Kate. She refused to wear a hat...not even a tiara, but she was completely willing to wear her Belle dress out in public.
The children's section of the library is the ENTIRE bottom floor. They have murals, kid computer stations, some fun lil toys and the crowd favorite "giant red bathtub!"
Last week, they had a community leader storytime. It was AMAZING (also totally packed...daycares and preschools have discovered our awesome library and have started coming out). They had a police officer address the kids as well as fire fighters who gave a fun presentation (with singing and a smoke limbo) and even a postal worker. It was really great!
The kiddos even got to check out the fire truck!
We LOVE our library and our awesome storytime librarians! HOORAY!
