Easter

There's a new display in the library this week.  Beautiful Easter eggs painted by the women from the Montgomery County Correctional Facility as part of the Brush with the Law program are adorning the shelves.  Stop in and admire their handiwork!

And while you're there, pick up a book or two for holy week.

Winter

Winter has come to the children's library!  How about cozying up with a book about snow...

Christmas

 The Christmas lights are up in our cozy Children's Library.  Come in and find a nice holiday book!

We have several books about St. Nicholas, learn about his history, his good deeds and how he became tied to the Christmas holiday.

 

 There are two wonderful books about candy canes- a staple of Christmas decorating and eating!

And of course the Nutcracker...

Soft pastel pictures decorate this version of e.e. cummings poem "Little Tree"- a sweet homage to picking out and decorating the Christmas tree.

 After enjoying our Christmas pageant last week, pick up some of the beautiful Nativity storybooks.

Or see how countries around the world celebrate this season.

Have a very blessed and joy filled Christmas!!

Thanksgiving

Soon Thanksgiving will be here and to help you prepare, the Children's Library has a plethora of seasonal books!   How about a recipe book like Slumps, Grunts and Snickerdoodles, full of interesting historical facts and recipes from Colonial America?  There are several books of prayers and graces, perfect to recite at the dinner table.  Or learn about the Pilgrims and what led them to leave their home in England and come to a new land.  The kids might also like to read about the story of Squanto in Squanto and the Miracle of Thanksgiving and what a blessing he was to the English settlers.  And Give Thanks to the Lord by Karma Wilson is a wonderful read-aloud psalm of thanks.  Happy Thanksgiving!
