Preschool Story Time, Ms. Sofie's Corner

Ms. Sofie's Corner, our preschool story time, meets Wednesdays at 10:30. We have a wonderful time reading stories and singing songs with our puppet friend, Freddie the Frog. Come and join our silliness and other such fun this week.

Also, Ms. Sofie would like to thank the children and parents who are already a part of Ms. Sofie' s Corner. She enjoys every minute of it.

Book Character Day!

We are excited to announce a great event coming up, called Character Day! Tuesday, May 3rd, we are celebrating Children Book Week by hosting a friendly and fun contest.

We invite kids, K-5th grade, to come to the library dressed as their favorite book character. The best costume will win a prize worthy of their creativity.

So, read your favorite books again and become inspired to come dressed to impress!

The event will be Tuesday, May 3rd, from 3:30 to 4:30 in our Childrens Room.

Ms. Sofia, our Children's librarian, has agreed to come dressed in her favorite book character's attire, can you guess who it will be?

Please call the library at 425-3246 to sign your child up.

T.A.B.

Mulberry Library is proud to introduce our new Teen Advisory Board! Made up of local teens, they have made it their mission to help the library bring in fun teen events. Calling themselves, T.A.B., they consider themselves 99% kid and 1% teen.

Please welcome our new awesome members and we look forward to welcoming more. They have been hard at work with our first scheduled event, the Wii Team Extreme.

In this event, teens will be playing against each other in Wii Bowling until every team has been eliminated except for one. That team will be the winner of the event and can claim all bragging rights.

Teens, bring a friend as it is a team event, with two to a team.

We look forward to a great event!

Over 1,000 books read in our Reading Contest!

We are very proud to announce these results to our month-long reading contest! What an accomplishment to our young readers who read to their heart's content and more to get in as many tickets as possible. Each book they checked out received one ticket, so when we tallied our tickets, we were thrilled to see over 1,000 books had been read in one month! So, congratulations young readers and we look forward to our next reading contest in the summer! Keep reading!
