Can you believe it, summer readers? This week is the last week of the Summer Reading Program! We hope you have enjoyed it and had as much fun as we have! For our last week we will finish things off with the classics: good old fashioned fairytales! If you enjoy a good fairytale with adventure and magic, you’ll love this week’s theme of “Magic Forest”! We are so excited to see everyone one last time at this week’s sessions and have a special surprise for you all too! To find out what it is, come and visit your local library!
You can also download this week’s colouring sheet from home and check out this week’s online reading list.
WEEKLY THEMES & ACTIVITIES:
Calling all crafters – young and young at heart! Love crafting and love seeing others enjoy what you make? Join the Fall Craft Swap where you will be partnered with another age-appropriate crafter in Huron
County (child or adult)!
Make your partner a custom craft, while they do the same for you! All crafting types welcome – knitting, crocheting, sewing, candle making, pottery, scrapbooking, needlefelting, etc. The sky is the limit!
Guidelines:
We ask that you craft TWO small items or ONE medium sized item.
Please note that a library staff person will be in touch with you Sept. 13-18 to assign your partner. You will have from Sept. 19-Oct. 19 to craft. Please drop your completed craft off to your local Huron County Library branch between Oct. 20-25 (or earlier). You will receive the craft from your partner between Nov. 1-5. A library staff person will send email reminders along the way. Please ensure that crafts do not exceed the size of a standard tote box (28” x 17” x 15″).
*Should a partner not complete a craft, an alternate partner will be arranged. Should multiple partners not complete a craft, individuals may be paired with one another. Pre-completed crafts will be used in reassignments (no need to make an entirely new craft!).
Important dates:
Registration: Aug. 22-Sept. 12
Partner Assigned: Sept. 13-18
