Here's one last look at Summer Reading 2013! We had such a great summer!

We're starting up with our regular programming this week!

Friday, August 16 @ 10:30 or 11:30am - Mother Goose on the Loose for children birth through 3 years old and a caregiver

Tuesday, August 20 @ 10:30am or 1pm - Preschool Story Hour for children ages 3-5. Children attend the first half on their own and are joined by the caregivers for a short video and craft.

Thursday, August 22 @ 10:30am - Toddler Time for children ages 2-3 years and their caregiver.

Thursday, August 22 @ 4:30pm - Cool It! for children in grades K-5. We're making ice cream and having other "cool" fun!

Summer is Flying By!

We've been busy the last 6 weeks! Take a look at this slide show to see some of the fun we've had:

We've had programs about dinosaurs, ancient Egypt, troublesome critters and water programs. The 4-5 year olds haven't had their water program yet, because of all the storms that were threatening that day. We're hoping for this week!

We still have several programs over the next two weeks and there's still plenty of time to get those books turned in for prizes!

It's Hard to Believe

It doesn't quite seem possible that the school year is almost over, does it? Today, I'm going to give you a slideshow recap of what the children have been doing at the library. It's been fun!

Fall Programs Starting!

The kids are back in school. Summer traveling is wrapping up this weekend. And the Cedar Lake Branch Library is back to regular programming!

All our preschool programs are designed to enhance preliteracy skills to help your child be ready to learn to read.

There's something for every age group and every child. So please check out these programs!
