Upcoming Story Times

May 1st- Chewonki Traveling Natural History Program Tide Pools 

The tide pool is home to a variety of species whose unique adaptations allow them to maintain stability in a world that is in a constant state of change. Which species can endure the waves, tides and temperature changes of the rocky coast? Using this interactive traveling display, participants will dip their hands into the three zones of Maine’s rocky intertidal ecosystem and touch some of the ocean’s most magnificent species.

Mr. Drew and his Animals, Too is a natural science and exotic animal rescue and rehabilitation center located in Lewiston, Maine. They provide a hands-on approach to learning about science and animals.

The third Wednesday of each month is Kids Night Out at the Library.  We meet from 6:00-7:00 pm. Snacks are provided.

Upcoming Kids Nights

June 19th- We will be reading Cave Girl’s Big Idea. Then we will be building with legos, magnetic tiles, straw connectors, etc. (Theme: Create your cave)

This year, we will be participating in the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! program.  Children, 12 and under, can read and record as many books as possible.  Your child can track and record his/her reading on the reading log sheet.  When a book or 10 pages, is read by you (for the younger children) or your child, your child will color a book.  All recording sheets are due on the last day of each month.  Students can turn their reading log into the library or the school for their Pizza Hut BOOK IT! coupon for a free one topping personal pan pizza.  There is no purchase necessary to redeem the coupon. The drawing will be held on the next open library day and you will be contacted if your child has won the prize.  Each month will have a new prize for our drawing.  Happy reading!
