Happy December, Early Childhood friends!
The DiNoSaUrS *insisted* on helping us decorate & display the town ornaments we sell every year. (Not pictured: the brontosaurs ate some of the lights and had to be taken to the vet 🤦🦕)

Each stop on the path around the library features a page from the book and a question or activity!
🦖Did you know that DiNoSaUrS dig disinfecting? Looks like we found something these DiNoSaUrS can do that isn't destructive!🦖

The DiNoSaUrS *said* they could be trusted copying flyers...
SHHHHHH! the DiNoSaUrS are FINALLY calming down. Who recognizes the book they're reading??
Who let the DiNoSaUrS use the kid's catalog computer?! I certainly hope they used some hand and claw sanitizer before hopping on the computer!
Let’s grow a gratitude tree and go on a bear-y grateful scavenger Hunt!
Leading up to Thanksgiving, our preschool activity theme is gratitude! Watch the video below about the activity and come in to the library to grab a bag 🍂
Don't let the DiNoSaUrS catalog books!🤦♀️
Come listen as Ms. Amanda gets fruity in PreSchool Storytime!
🦕🌯TaCo TuEsDaY 🦖🌮
The DiNoSaUrS we're specifically told that no food is allowed inside the library....
The DiNoSaUrS volunteered to clean out the craft closet...
Come say hi 🙋♀️ to Ms. Christin this Saturday! Grab some new picture books, too📚
Starting November 7th, the Library will be open from 10 am-1 pm on Saturdays! We look forward to seeing you.

We *thought* we hid the leftover Halloween candy well from the DiNoSaUrS... but apparently not well enough. It looks like they turned into "candi-vores" as they work through this bucket!
Celebrate National Literacy Month with free books!
A big thanks to Partners for Children and Families for these wonderful literacy bags, complete with a book and activity pack! Together we are 🧒🏼👦🏽🧒🏿👦🏻
If you see the DiNoSaUrS hanging around the library, make sure you *leaf* them be. They can be quite temperamental when we bother them!
