Baby
Story Time
Baby Story Time is
a twenty minute story time for babies (age newborn to 20 months) and their grown-up one on one.
Because we know that reading at
an early age helps with language development, we will read books, sing, and learn finger plays.
Older siblings are welcome but must bring their own “baby.” Our
featured author is Michelle Sinclair Colman.
Baby story time lasts for 6 consecutive weeks.
There will be one
session of Baby Story Time, at the Lewistown branch, beginning on:
Thursday,
Jan. 19, 2011 @ 10 a.m. First
day to sign up is Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2011.
Registration is
required.
A waiting
list will be started and if enough babies are on the list,
a
second class will be offered at 11 a.m.
Please
call the library at 242-2391 or

Piggy Bank Tales
Mifflin County Library has
received a grant to offer Piggy Bank Tales, a four-week-long story time
focusing on children and money (earning, saving, spending and sharing).

"chores". Then they can spend their money in the library "store".
Each week we will have 3 stories and a craft.

siblings are always welcome. Please sign up at your branch. In

A
Few Things about
Junior
Book Group
We
will not allow anyone younger than 9 to join Junior Book Group. The main
reason is that our library policy states “Children the age of eight (8) and
under are not permitted in the library without a parent/custodian who is
sixteen (16) years of age or older.”
Parents are not required to stay while Junior Book Group is in
session.
Junior
Book Group is only cancelled if school has been cancelled for the day or
if the library is closed due to bad weather. If you are unsure, please
call the library.
You
are responsible to call or email the library and let us know if you can't
make it to a meeting. Missing two meetings in a row and failing to
call will result in loss of your spot in the group. Your spot will be
given to the first person on the waiting list and your name will have to
be put back on the waiting list. Extenuating circumstances, such as
a sudden illness, will be taken into consideration.
To
register, or to let us know you can't attend a meeting, call
242-2391 or email
