Lego Donations Needed
October is the month of giving! On that note, the Children's Department is in need of Lego base plates, people, vehicles and plants/trees. Donations can be given at the Children's desk located on the ground floor of the library. Thank you!
Sneak Peek
The most popular question lately to our Children's desk staff is "Where are the trains?" Not to fear! They are still here, but are on break. This year we applied for The Wyckoff Family Foundation Grant and were granted funds to buy new play stations. What are play stations? Play stations are spaces in the library that have toys for children to use their imagination and learn through play. Our plans is to have all the new play stations out by the first of November. Sneak peek: one of our stations will be a Kitchen set for young children and a light panel for grade school children. We were also granted funds from Geneva Rotary, which will be used to purchase play stations and sensory toys. Once a month, starting in November, the library will hold a sensory program for toddlers 0 -18 months on Thursday mornings. This program is designed to encourage little ones to use their senses to play, create, investigate and explore.
