Thanksgiving Afternoon Movie

Our Wednesday after school movie for November 19th is Free Birds.



Don't forget our Pie Bake Off on Tuesday,  November 25th!

After School

I am happy to say that we were able to show Maleficent the day after it came out on DVD, and I loved it.....maybe more than the children!  One of the perks of being a Youth Specialist at a library!
 
Next Wednesday, November 12th, we will be showing a family favorite about the 185 pounds of romping, drooling, disaster-prone St. Bernard..............Beethoven!

After school continues

As I noted below, the kids and I are having a great time on Wednesday afternoons.  However, I forgot to thank the Pal-Mac High School Seniors who have been helping out, volunteering their time for P.I.G. points.  I don't know what I'll do when the semester is over.
I am excited to say that next Wednesday, November 5th, we will be showing the newly released Maleficent! 

November

The library has a lot of activities planned for November so be sure to check our calendar!

And we end the month, November 30th, with Kim Tenreiro's one man show of A Christmas Carol.
 

Halloween!

I love Halloween!  On Tuesday I had Elsa and Anna (and their little dog, too) come for stories and snacks.

For our after school Halloween movie I introduced a new generation to Jim Varney in Ernest Scared Stupid. So much fun!  The we played pin-the-nose-on-the-pumpkin, make your friend into a mummy, pumpkin bowling and made some beautiful pictures.  

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Halloween

We are continuing to get a nice crowd of kids for the Wednesday after school movie and activity. So I guess they are enjoying it as much as I am!
Next week is our Halloween party (the kids can bring costumes if they want), and we have a few party games planned.  
The movie will be my all-time Halloween favorite:  Ernest Scared Stupid!

After School Program Update

I am so proud of the kids who come over from the Intermediate School on Wednesday afternoons!  This week we were unable to use the community room because of the book sale set up, and we had to relocate to the teen section in the back of the library.  I explained the situation and ask that they be on their best behavior and use only quiet voices.  And, although they had been in classes all day, they exceeded my expectations on decibel level and politeness.  Thank you kids!  All 40 of you!

We tried something new this week - Jeopardy!  Stacey told me the kids would love it, and they did.  With a little modification (always learning) we are going to have to try this again in the near future.  So much fun!

In keeping with our Halloween theme, our movie on October 22 is Casper.
