Flower Power @ Mother Goose Time!

To celebrate Read Across America, participants from our most popular regular program, Mother Goose Time (Thursdays at 11am for the under 5 crowd) listened and acted out a Dr. Seuss story and had a fabulous time making flower crowns (and licking the glue sticks!).

The fun continues!

What STINKS at the library?

It's our newest series: STINK!

STINK is filled with fun adventures and cool illustrations. Comic strips, drawn by Stink, are scattered throughout the book. Comics such as "The Adventures of Stink in Newt Boy meets Jaws Monster" show Stink solving everyday problems with superhuman powers.

The author knew that Stink needed to star in a book of his own when she visited a school and the class chanted, "Stink! Stink! Stink." This book will appeal to both boys and girls, but young boys will especially identify with Stink and his bossy older sister. I hope McDonald writes many more adventures for Stink. He's a delightful character.

 

Look for a copies of Stink and the Great Guinea Pig Express, Stink and the World's Worst Super Stinky Sneakers and Stink and the Incredible Super Galactic Jawbreaker

at the Library!

READ ACROSS AMERICA 2010!

The Perry Library was the place to be on Tuesday, March 2nd. Hundreds of kids, teens and adults attended the annual Read Across America Event sponsored by the Vance County Association of Educators and the H Leslie Perry Memorial Library.  All of the Vance County Elementary Schools were in attendance, with fun displays, games and giveaways for all participants.  Local community members read books by Dr. Seuss for a 2 hour storytime and the Perry Library's craft table was a big hit.  Every child that attended took home a free book and was able to have their picture taken with the Cat in the Hat.

 

Check out more pictures from SeussAthon in the Youth Services area of the Library. Who know? You might just see yourself!
