Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall

Activities at the Bayer Children's Room

Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall offers many programs for children.  The programs are designed to appeal to specific age groups:

• Stories & Crafts  - Every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. we’ll read wonderful stories about a theme, and then the stories will come alive for the children who will make a craft with the same theme.  August 31 through June 7.
• Homework Help - NEW! Need help with your homework?  Thursdays from 3:30 – 5:30 p.m. free help is available for grade school students.  Come to the library September 7 – June 7. 

This summer during our Summer Reading Program, we wrote, illustrated and bound our own books.  There were about 70 participants in the program.  We had a story teller come, we read books, each of the two groups wrote a story together and then each participant worked on writing and illustrating their own stories.  The two group books are available in our library.
 
 

The next 2 pictures were taken at Dr. Seuss’s 102 Birthday Party.  We played “Ring the Gack”  and read several books by Dr. Seuss including his first book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street..  We also looked at a book of paintings and sculptures by Dr. Seuss.  In The Cat in the Hat, Thing 1 and Thing 2 flew a kite in the house.  We all made kites, too.  And best of all, we sang Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss and had cake.  We all blew out the candles together.   Look at the beautiful cake!

A Junie B. Jones Jamboree was offered at the library in April.  We had a great time at our jamboree!  Some of the kids dressed as their favorite Junie B. Jones characters.  We made Graduation Caps and played a tossing game with graduation gowns and "Grape Juice  Dribbles".  Lisa read parts of a Junie B. story as we played "musical clothes".  We ate jelly donuts and iced tea-- Junie B.'s favorites!
