Library Shifting to Fall Programming
International Falls Public Library
Whew! September has snuck up on me. Just a couple more days for the library to accept children’s hours read for summer reading prizes. And if your child earned a t-shirt please stop by the junior room and pick up the shirt. We still have quite a few available.
September brings with it our shift to fall programming. Crafty Tuesdays will remain but the craft project will only be available from 4 – 8 pm in the junior room. So add the library to your ‘to do’ list on Tuesdays. Bring the kids to the junior room for a craft project and books for the week. Each week we’ll have a different craft project available with the first couple of weeks of September devoted to back to school items. Tuesday, September 7th from 4 – 8 pm come create your very own pencil topper and always know which pencil is yours.
Storytime will begin Thursday, September 16th at 10:30am. It will continue each week through December 16th (with no storytime November 11 or 25 for Veterans’ Day and Thanksgiving). September brings new schedules and changes to life so storytime in September focuses on the things kids know best. Storytime on September 16 will focus on family, September 23 we’ll talk about friends and September 30 we’ll explore the world as it turns to fall. Join us each week for 20 – 30 minutes of story, rhymes, and songs. Storytime can be a great way to introduce a child to the library and begin teaching them how to learn in group settings which can be a very difficult skill to obtain, but vital for educational success.
The Friends of the Library will meet for their monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 7th at 3 pm. The meeting is open to anyone wanting to help support the library. The Friends are looking for people willing to volunteer at the monthly booksales. If you’d be willing to volunteer for two hours and run a book sale, please talk to Diane at the library. At this point a sale hasn’t yet been scheduled for September.
Teen gaming will be held on Tuesday, September 21 from 6 – 8 pm. Any teen in grades 7 and above is welcome to come and play games. The library makes available a variety of board games, 2 Wiis, and a Playstation 3. Refreshments are provided. No registration necessary, just drop in and play games.
Family gaming will be Tuesday, September 28 from 6 – 8 pm and is open to families with children of all ages. All children need to be supervised by an accompanying adult. Enjoy time together as a family.
Documentary movie night is back with “Tapped” being shown on Monday, September 27th at 6:30 pm. Is access to clean drinking water a basic human right or a commodity to be bought and sold? Learn about the big business of bottled water and form your own opinions. Come join us as we learn about the world around us. |
