Yay! Spring!

Thank goodness Spring is here!  Yesterday we were unable to use the community room because of the Book Sale, so after watching our movie in the teen section of the library (the kids were amazingly quiet when I explained our situation), we all went OUTSIDE!  The kids were able to decorate all of our available sidewalk space with chalk and then they rolled down "library hill", over and over and over again.  It was glorious weather and fun!

Next week we will be watching Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, the very funny sequel to Cats & Dogs that we all enjoyed a few weeks ago.  And if the weather is good, after we make some cat toys to donate to the ASPCA, we will go "rolling" again.

After School Adjustments

Because of the Friends of the Macedon Public Library Book Sale next week, we will be unable to have our after school program in the community room.  We will set up the TV and chairs in the Teen area at the back of the library (like we had to do last fall for the same reason).  
We will only watch a short movie, Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown.
Then, weather permitting, we will head outside for some creative play!  So, hope for the best! 

Rafe Martin

Thanks to the Friends of the Macedon Public Library, we were very fortunate to have local author and storyteller, Rafe Martin, visit us on Sunday.  Rafe is the author of over 20 children's books, and he delighted both the adults and children with his expressive retelling of The Storytelling Princess or, as he likes to call it, The Lost Princess.

 

The Borrowers

Next week's movie for our Wednesday after school program is The Borrowers! 

 They're charming and small and live behind the wall!

Kids and Dogs

Yesterday's after school group had fun and did a little community service at the same time.  After watching the very funny Dogs & Cats, the kids made dog toys that we are going to donate to the Humane Society. 
We tested one of the toys (a fleece ball) on Macy, our therapy dog.  I think it was a success!

 

And then we went outside and ran around and rolled down library hill in celebration of our first beautiful Wednesday in months!

Sheep Shearing at Lollypop Farm

Join us at Lollypop Farm this Saturday, April 18th, at 9:00 am, to watch the sheep being sheared.  I will be there to read the beautifully illustrated book Weaving the Rainbow by George Ella Lyon.

It's Raining.....................

Cats & Dogs!

That's our after school movie for Wednesday, April 15th!
Watch our 4-legged friends try to save the world as secret agents!

Spring After School Program

April at the Macedon Library is a time for birthdays. 
 Yes, 5 of our staff members were born within a 2 week period! 
 To celebrate, we'll be showing one of my favorite movies on April 8th, Matilda, and eating cake!
        

April Fool's Day at the Library

No Foolin'!  It's Jim Bush!  What a great way to keep warm another chilly Spring Break Day!  The ever popular local magician amazed us with some magic and even taught us a trick or two.

 

 

After the show, the Friends of the Macedon Library provided Peeps and craft supplies so that those who wanted could make their Peep dioramas for the annual Peep contest.  Check back next week for the winners!
