Storytime Training
Yesterday I had storytime training at the OP library. It was super fun! Lori Kanes taught us everything we needed to know about giving a successful storytime: how to pick a theme, how to read the books, finger plays and songs, and crowd control. It was super helpful. I am going to do some practice and planning, then I'm going to start doing storytimes every Wednesday at 3. It is going to be so much fun!

Update
Hey guys! This blog is long overdue for an update. So here's what's going on!
Wii Days: So far we have had 2 Wii days. Basically, what we do is invite the middle schoolers to the conference room after school to play Mario Cart on the libraries Wii. We also give prizes to the people who win the most games. It is really fun!
Card Games: Another program we have for middle schoolers is card games. We open up the second, smaller conference room and teach the kids card games. It's muy fun. I learned how to play Spoons from a fellow volunteer last week!
Storytime training: Mary, the librarian in charge of the teen volunteers, invited me to join the Storytime training on April 21st. I'll let you guys know what goes on at training.
Oh, guess what! April 21 also happens to be Mary's birthday! Don't tell her what I'm going to get her. Mary, if your reading, please stop for the next paragraph. I'll wait..........
Is she gone? Good. I'm going to give her a box of handmade cards from my web store, Artists Garden (there's a link if you want to check it out). I hope she likes it!
I'll talk to you guys later! Bye.
