Story Time October 4th-6th, 2016


Thank you everyone who attended Story Time this week!

Our book was What Was I Scared of by Dr. Seuss.

What's a pair of empty green trousers doing standing by itself in the woods? Or riding a bike in Grin-itch?  Or fishing on Roover River?  The narrator certainly doesn't want to find out but wherever he goes, he's haunted by the spooky empty pants. Finally, when the two find themselves hiding from each other in a Snide bush, the terrified narrator realizes, "I was just as strange to him as he was strange to me."  This little Seussian gem, plucked from the back of The Sneetches and Other Stories, shines on it own as it delivers a timeless message about fear and tolerance. 

Since Halloween is right around the corner, we chose to read this spooky story by one our favorite authors.  This fun book was filled with Dr. Seuss's usual rhyming and humor and taught us a beautiful lesson about judging others because they may be different than us.

Speaking of Halloween, we will be having a Halloween Fall Festival on October 25th at 5:30 p.m.  This program is for ages 12 and below.  Everyone is welcome to wear a Halloween costume but this is optional.

 We are going to have so much fun at our Halloween Fall Festival!  We hope to see you there! 

If you have any questions concerning Story Time or the Halloween Fall Festival feel free to stop by the library or call us at 256-386-9212.
