Legos at the Library

Tuesday was a great time for anyone 12 or under here at the library (and actually, some of the adults had fun too)!  Everyone was allowed to come in and make whatever they wanted with the thousands of Legos we had available.  No time limit, no pressure.  So come in and view the amazing creations in our display case (until Monday, August 29)!

We will be hosting another Lego Day just for teens

Tuesday, August 30 at 1:00 p.m.

Come relive your childhood!

Newbery Challenge

Every year the Macedon Public Library challenges their summer readers to read 6 Newbery winner or honor books, thus the "Newbery Challenge"  This year we made it a little harder, by requiring them to read one non-fiction Newbery book, and 3 books published during certain years, as well as 2 Newberys of their choice.  We are proud to announce that this year 13 readers completed the challenge, ranging in age from 6 to 16!
We celebrate this accomplishment with a pizza party sponsored by the Reliant Community Credit Union, were we talk about the books we loved, and the ones we didn't.  The readers also receive a new book to bring home, and other prizes.

Congratulations, and we look forward to seeing you all back next year!

One World, Many Stories - Week 6

So, we finished our last week of summer story times with a blast.  Lots of fun as we visited our last continent, but even more fun when WOWEE (World of Wildlife Educational Encounters) visited on Wednesday and brought animals from around the world. We saw a chinchilla taking a sand bath, got the pet the potbellied pig, tried to get the cockatiel to dance for us, and got totally grossed out by the hissing cockroaches.  There were lots more animals, and we "traveled around the world", but in the end we all had our favorites.  Mine was Honey, the sugar glider.  What was yours?
