November's Building with Legos event was a success!
Winter Reading Challenge!
The challenge started December 23rd and continues through February. No matter your reading level, grade, where you read or what you read, you can track anywhere, anytime and any books. Just sign up today or register at https://geneva.beanstack.org/reader365 or download the Beanstack app through Google Play or the Apple Store. Join the challenge to help the library to be one of the nation-wide libraries to win an author visit from Olugbemisola Rhuday-Perkovich, author of The Hero Next Door and Max Brailler, author of The Last Kids on Earth series. Along with the author visits, Penguin Random House will donate $50,000 worth of new books to enhance the winning library's collection. My son and I have already started reading and we hope you will join us in this challenge.
LET THE WINTER READING BEGIN!!!!
Upcoming Programs
Game Day is back! Every first Friday of the month at 3:45 PM in the library's Story Room. At the first session, on January 3rd, we will be playing board games. Open to children ages 6 - 10 years old. Snack is provided. Creative Crafts is also returning this winter. On every second Thursday of the month at 4:00 PM in the library's Story Room. This program is based on using recyclables and other leftover materials to create a craft to take home. On January 9th, we will be using perler beads to create a design to iron onto a fuse board. Open to all children, but some crafts may be difficult for smaller participants. Winter Puppet Shows will be held on Wednesday January 15th in the library’s Community Room, with three show times:10:00 AM, 1:30 PM and 3:30 PM. Each Puppet Show lasts about 30 minutes, including three skits, with two movement breaks in between. The event is appropriate for children 7 and under, but is open to all those who are young at heart! Sensory Playtime is held every third Thursday of the month, for babies 0-18 months, with their caregiver, to come play with toys, read books and do an activity to heighten the baby’s five senses. January’s Sensory Playtime will be on the 16th at 10 AM in the library’s Story Room. Open Play is turning out to be a hit! We love seeing parents and children are taking advantage of this program. Open play is held in the Story Room almost every Saturday from 10 AM- 12 PM. Open to children under 6 years old with caregiver, children can play with friends and socialize. Toddler Time, Preschool Story Time and Baby Lapsit are on a short break and will resume the week of January 20th. Weekly programming will continue through the end of February. Please try to register online, as registered participants will be notified via email if an event is cancelled due to winter weather. If you have any issues registering online, please contact Tanya at ttaylor@pls-net.org or 315-789-5303 ext 111.
