Summer Wrap and Back to School

255 children "Read All About It" for six weeks this summer while earning money to buy books and other items donated by Wal-Mart at our Bookstore Party.

As our new Library building is completed we will need to close tentatively in September and reopen in October 2007. Tentatively Family Storytime will begin on Tuesdays in October at 10:00 a.m. in the new Library. Additional program information to be announced.

Are your children ready for school? The Library has excellent resources to help your child do their best in school. Most of all make learning fun for your child. Try these titles to build math skills.

"The Mission of Addition" by Brian P. Cleary uses rhyme and humorous illustrations with child friendly examples to make math fun. Ages 5 to 8.

"Coyotes All Around" by Stuart J. Murphy. Laugh as Coyote tries to outwit his friends to get all the food. Ages 6 and up.

"Each Orange Had Eight Slices" by Paul Giganti, Jr. is an introduction to counting and simple addition for ages 3 to 8.

E. D. Hirsch has a series of books on what your child should know from Kindergarten to fifth grade.
Assist your child with our FCAT study guides with sample tests for higher scores at school.
