Storytimes Have Started!

Winter 2012 storytimes have begun! Tuesdays are really booming with the biggest numbers in toddlers and preschool! Wednesday’s toddler class is slowly filling up, but my wednesday morning preschool class is chugging along with only 5 children! If you have a preschooler that is home on wednesday mornings, we’d love to have him/her join us! Not a morning person? That’s ok! We’ll get your child up and moving! Come as you are! Pajamas are welcome!

Ms. Jeanette’s Preschool Storytime:
Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.
Ages 3 1/2 to 5

What’s Happening In The Kids’ Room?

Have you ever wondered that? Well, there are several ways to find out. First, go to our website (www.libcoop.net/romeo) and click on the Events link on the left side of the page. That will take you to our calendar and everything is posted there.

Would you rather have a piece of paper to stick on your fridge? Well, come on in to the library and pick up our new “Kids News” brochure. Copies can be found on the kiosk in the lobby. We’ll even mail you a copy if that is easier for you!

There’s a lot going on this fall! Don’t miss out!

Ms. Jeanette’s Preschool Storytimes and Themes for Fall 2011

Fall is almost upon us and I have working on storytime themes and plans all summer!  I think this is my most organized year, yet (well, we’ll see about that after the sessions get underway! LOL!). We have 10 wonderful weeks of storytimes to share and I can’t wait to get started! I’ve mixed old “tried and true” themes with some new “fresh” themes.  I think it is going to be fun!

Here is a tentative list of storytimes that I have planned!

September 21: Autumn Leaves/Colors

September 28:  Apples

October 5: Fire Safety/Fire Fighters

October 12: Columbus Day/Boats

October 19:  Owls

October 26:  Halloween

November 2: All About Clocks and Time

November 9:  Musical Mayhem

November 16:  Turkeys

November 23:  Thanksgiving

Fall is in Air!

And just around the corner! Almost time for a new school year to begin and a new storytime session to get underway!
