Registration is still OPEN for upcoming Winter Afterschool programs,
happening at the Ironton, Fredericktown, and Annapolis libraries
in January! A complete schedule can
be found in the left-hand column of this blog, or you can call or visit
the front desk of your local library to register and get more details.
All afterschool programs are recommended for grade schoolers, grades 1
through 5, although you can check with a library staff member if you
have a younger or older child who might like to attend.
Here are some photos from last week's amazing Polar Express party! After having their souvenir train tickets punched, kids visited the cocoa station, where they doctored up their hot chocolate with flavored marshmallows, chocolate chips, candy canes, and cinnamon sticks. Then we read Chris Van Allsburg's classic picture book,
The Polar Express, played a few rounds of "Conductor Says" (similar to "Simon Says"), and made clothespin reindeer and elf ear hats to take home.

And don't forget! If you live near one of
the Ozark Regional libraries that don't have any afterschool programs
scheduled- this includes Ste. Genevieve, Cuba, Steelville, Bourbon, and
Viburnum branches-, you can still join in on the fun by picking up one
of three take-home craft kits available at the front desk of your local
library!
 |
| You can choose
from three different take-home craft kits: a paper chromatrope toy kit,
a clothespin reindeer kit, or a paper games (which includes materials
to play pen-&-paper games like Hangman) and paper airplanes kit. |
Call your library with any questions about
our series of Winter 2013-14 Afterschool Programs, or send us an email
through the Youth Department blog!
Keep reading!
