Palmyra Library

We have enjoyed having many of Palmyra's patrons spend some time with us while the Palmyra Library is closed for their move into their new building at 402 Main Street.  It is always nice to meet and help new people.  It has also been an opportunity for us show our appreciation for all that Palmyra did for us and our patrons during our times of trouble in 2001, and the opening of our new library in 2003.

We wish the Palmyra Community Library, their staff and patrons success in their new home, which will open Monday, December 19!!

More Therapy Dog Stuff

I never grow tired of playing with our dogs and watching the children interact with them during story times, so you'll have to indulge me while I share more photos.  --  Also, please remember that if you have a child who would like to spend some time reading with one of our therapy dogs, please contact us and we will set you up with one of the dog owners.

Pajama Story Time

We had lots of fun at Pajama Story Time last night.  I cannot thank our community enough for bringing their children out on a school night.  I hope parents were not thinking that we would lull their children to sleep for them - not with Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed!!!!

I especially want to thank our special guest reader, Phil Klingler.  It was a wonderful change for the children to hear someone other than me reading to them.  Phil has such a deep, soothing voice he had the kids mesmerized (and giggling).

I'll keep you posted on the next event..............................

Story Time Reminder

 Don't forget..............

Halloween Magic

When you plan a magic show for 2:00 in the afternoon on a Sunday, the day before Halloween, you never know what you're going to get.  Even with the infamous and popular Jim Bush at the helm.  But Pam and I  set up the Community Room with hope, put on our costumes, set out the candy and waited.................

And do you know what we got?  A packed room!!  Lots of kids, parents and grandparents.  Most of the kids dressed in costume and it was so much fun!  Of course, Mr. Bush did not disappoint.  And those who have never had the pleasure of seeing him perform commented on how funny he is.  We may have to make this an annual event!
