Flat Stanley visits the Library!...and other news from the Children's Room

Yes, it's true!! Flat Stanley visited us here at the Amherst Town Library, along with his friend Emily.  He even sat in on our Jr. Book Club meeting--didn't have a lot to say, but he was a very good listener!

 There's so much news, I don't quite know where to start!

 Here are our Jr. Book Club members, working hard on their contributions to our handbook, "Perilous Pitfalls, and How to Avoid Them"   inspired by our discussion of the book Roxie and the Hooligans by Phyllis Naylor. We came up with some great ideas!
We had a French class on a Tuesday afternoon...
Madame Thenin leads a group in a celebration of all things French--the kids learned to sing French songs, say some French words, and even made a special craft--tres bien!!!

... played with Legos on a Thursday...
Here's our Lego-my-Library group, trying out their vehicles on the ramps!
...and received a lovely gift from the Friends of the Library!
Some of our Jr. Book Club members are showing off our beautiful, newly-covered pillows--thanks to Amy Littlefield, who did all the work!!
