When: Monday May 12, 2008,
6:30 - 8 pm Are you afraid to go down to your basement or open your closet doors? Do you have more “stuff” than “space”? This FREE clutter-busting program will help you organize the things you want & need to keep, and show you how to clear out the rest. This program will be presented by Jennifer Caravella, Family Living Agent, Waushara County UWEX, and is sponsored by the Leon-Saxeville Township Library.
The YSS National Library Week Coloring Contest, sponsored by Culver’s, will be held throughout the month of April 2008. The program promotes reading and libraries to children 11 years old and younger. The coloring forms, available at the library, are the “entry” forms. Children are asked to “celebrate their favorite book by drawing a picture about it.” All drawings will be on display in the library. Every participant will receive a Culver’s Custard coupon. There are two grand prize drawings; one for ages 5 and younger and another for ages 6 to 11. Deadline is fast approaching! Bring your entry forms to the library by Wednesday, April 30, 2008.
We'll be glad to give you a quick demonstration.
This month’s display features fishing memorabilia from Sally Norris. Take a step into the past and see the old-time reels and lures. When was the last time you used a “Bob-Bet Bait Box”? (Try saying that 3-times fast!) Included with her display are fisherman figurines from around the world, including Japan, Mexico, and the Bahamas. Stop in and enjoy! Are you interested in showcasing your collection at the library? Do you have a special talent or hobby you would like to display for others? We're putting together a list of people who are willing to bring their “personal favorites” sometime during 2008. The display usually stays in the locked display case for the month. If you're interested, see the Library Director and she’ll get you signed up!
The May book discussion will include two books: The Glass Castle by Jeanette Watts, and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Reader’s Edge Readers Book Club meets in the library on the third Monday of the month (September through May) at 10 am.
The April 2nd session features “everything sunny and spring!” We begin with Eileen Spinelli’s book, In My New Yellow Shirt. Plus a flannel board story about paper bag masks. The next week on April 9th we'll continue the springtime fun with ducks…LOTS of ducks! A special brunch will be held Wednesday, April 16th to celebrate National Library Week, with the children planning the menu. On Wednesday, May 14th we'll celebrate mothers, both human and animal. Our story hour is a mixture of songs, action rhymes, and craft activities that reinforce the day’s stories. We currently host children, ages 2 and older. Story hour is open to everyone who is interested in attending. Interested in being a guest reader? Contact the library… we’d love to have you!
When the snow melts (if it ever melts!) work begins on the garden. We’ll be seeding the grassy area and cleaning up the planted area and putting in additional plants.. Hopefully the stepping-stones survived the winter. If not, we’ll be making more of them. The Friends of the Leon-Saxeville Library was the recipient of a "Landscaping for Tomorrow" Grant from the Fox Valley Area Chapter of The Wild Ones organization. Call the library at 920-987-5110 to find out how you can help!
The Youth Book Club meets on Mondays at 4pm at the library.
