Cuba Christmas Parade!

Mrs. Claus was on the library's parade float with a troop of awesome girl scouts last Saturday! Afterwards, Mrs. Claus was joined by Santa and they held a story time for the children.  Books were read, bookmarks were made, and the children got to get their pictures taken with the jolly Claus couple.  When story time was over, a wonderful performance was held by The Treble Clefs choir.  Be sure to join in the festivities again next year!

Miracle on Main Street in Fredericktown!

The Fredericktown branch hosted Mrs. Claus for two story telling sessions on December 3.  She read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas.  During the parade, she joined her husband, Santa Claus, to say hello to the good people of Fredericktown.  Kids also colored in Holiday Characters like Santa Claus, snowmen, and toy soldiers and these were hung up on the circulation desk to be enjoyed throughout the holiday.

Youth Education Day!

On October 7, 2016, I had the pleasure of having a booth in Fredericktown at the Youth Education Day event held by the University of Missouri Extension Office.  Branch Manager, Bill Knight, joined me, as we talked about the services our library offers and all of the fun things besides books that we have.  We reached out to many of the Fredericktown preschools and daycares as well as the Marquand School District. Each child took home a goodie bag with information packets, a pencil, eraser, and bookmark!
