Reading Rainbow: All preschoolers interested in a weekly program that includes stories, songs, games, crafts and laughs are invited to the library on Fridays at 10:30 in the morning! Remember, an adult must accompany children. On May 9 we will be celebrating Mother's Day by reading the story Happy Mother's Day by Deborah Hautzig and making a special surprise craft for mom - shhh! Our math is 0 5=5 and our second word is cat. We will make coloured celery for our science experiment!

Babies in the Library: For the month of May we will meet from 2:30 to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays to do rhyming, talking, finger plays, and stories. This program runs for four sessions, but I would be interested in having a bi-weekly session during the school year. Our first meeting will be on Wednesday, May 7.

Art Classes with Veronica Steeves: we will be hosting an eight-week art class series about the dynamics of drawing for people of all ages and abilities on Thursday evenings from 6-8 p.m. beginning June 5. The cost is $4 per person per class. Registration is necessary and a supply list will be provided. Supply kits can also be provided at a cost if requested. Please contact the library at 273-2843 to register.
