I am fortunate to work in a small rural town, with a school district of about 2,000 kids. Every Friday, I go read to the Kindergarten classes - they are all in one lower elementary building. I read to the pre-schools, invite said preschools and kindergartens to visit the library. Today I went to the high school and participated with a dozen teens in the after school book cafe the high school media gals put on, discussing the Classics. I partner with the Welcoming Schools to run a monthly playgroup for children 5 and younger and their parents. I do work 40 hours a week and keep very busy!GrandmaGippyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13520223478342868062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175652458700347449.post-52419398580179350072013-01-16T08:04:22.885-06:002013-01-16T08:04:22.885-06:00One of our elementary schools uses the library for...One of our elementary schools uses the library for their art show each year. They bring over display boards, set everything up, and then have a little open house in our lobby with punch and cookies. We get a lot of patrons who don't normally come to the library looking at their kids' art. This doesn't happen every year - sometimes the teachers don't have money or time, sometimes the art teacher was forced into retirement and there's nobody to run it. Last year the library donated cookies b/c the teachers were paying for them themselves.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096787155616041727noreply@blogger.com
