Dogs, Dogs, Dogs

This week was an exciting one in the Story Time room!! We had three therapy dog visitors and most of the kids loved having them in the room, although we had a few who are not comfortable around licking animals larger than themselves. But luckily there were many smiles and we are looking forward to future visits.

Weekly Story Times

Our regular weekly Story Time schedule picks up again on Monday, November 15. However, there will be a new twist for some -- therapy dogs!!!!!!

The Monday morning 3, 4 and 5 year group will be joined by Gus, a golden retriever who has visited us once before. Gus is new to the therapy field, but loves his job. He spends most of his time visiting senior citizens, but loves children and is looking forward to diversifying.

Paxton, a black lab, will be spending Wednesday afternoons with our Wacky Wednesday group. Paxton was trained as a seeing eye dog, but due to a minor physical ailment was unable to continue. Instead he has been working with children, frequently on a one-on-one environment, and so should fit right in with our Wednesday crowd. He loves to perform tricks, and hopefully he can teach my kids how to "sit"!

Kids in the Library

My first Pajama Story Time was a great success, at least by my standards. Lot's of my regular story time kids came, and brought their older brothers and sisters -- many of whom I remember from their story time days! We had some children and parents whose schedule doesn't allow for weekly story time, but still love stories! And we even had a few people who I didn't recognize, but was so happy to see!

All in all we had fun reading some old favorites and some new soon-to-be favorites. I hope to do this again in a few months, so keep your eyes and ears open updates.





With the kids home from school on Thursday, Veteran's Day, we were fortunate to have animator Kelly Mihal teach some lucky students all about animation, character design, and pixilation. -- I could hear lots of laughter coming from the room, always a great fun indicator! And then I found them working away on their flip-books so diligently that they didn't even notice me taking pictures!
