We offer a story & craft every month during our local school year.
Anyone is welcome to join, although it is geared toward younger children.
March Story & Craft:
We made pots of gold!
Introducing Bookworms!
Beginning in March, we will meet the last Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. to discuss a book, socialize, and enjoy snacks. Each month we will make our way through different genres and choose our books as a group.
March 28th will be our first meeting, and we will be talking about The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn.
A brief synopsis of The Diamond Eye: "Known as Lady Death—a lethal hunter of Nazis—Mila Pavlichenko, sent to America on a goodwill tour, forms an unexpected friendship with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and a connection with a silent fellow sniper, offering her a chance at happiness until her past returns with a vengeance."
If you have any questions about Bookworms, please email us at danvers.tl.rsa@gmail.com.
If you find that this month's pick isn't your taste, come to the meeting anyway so you can have input on next month's book! We will vary our genres and decide as a group what we will read.

Welcome to 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Club! This free program encourages you to read 1,000 books with your child before they enter school—a goal experts say children need to help them learn to read for themselves.
One of the best ways to encourage learning is to spend time sharing books every day. Reading together helps develop important pre-reading skills that provide a solid reading foundation—a key to school and learning success. Plus, sharing stories together is fun!
Here are the easy steps for participation:
1. Read together.
2. Mark the dot on your child’s log. If you read a book more than once, you can record it each time. Books read at our library Story Time, daycare, or others also count.
3. When you finish 100 books, give your sheet to the librarian and
· Receive a sticker
· Receive a book
4. Repeat steps 1—3 and receive a different sticker and book at each level.
5. After finishing 1,000 books, your child
· Receives a sticker and a book
· Receives a special prize
This club has no end date except your child’s going to school, so don’t feel rushed—just enjoy the experience! Take every chance you have to read with your children, talk about stories, say nursery rhymes, sing songs, and attend library programs. By reading just three stories a day you and your child will have read over 1,000 books in one year. You will also have shared many special moments along the way.
The library is a fun place featuring books to check out, DVDs, free programs, and great suggestions for what to read. Stop in often and talk to our friendly staff—we are here to help.
Happy Reading!
