Reminder of the Book Drive!!

http://rivercityreadersforkids.blogspot.com/2011/02/book-drive.html

Our book drive for gently used children's and teen books begins March 1. Please donate if you can! These books will be used as prizes during our Summer Reading Program.

Create Musical Memories

It's no secret that one of my favorite children's books of all times is the one titled I Got Two Dogs by John Lithgow. I love that little story! What makes it so great is the music cd that accompanies it with John Lithgow singing the words to the book--a really fun song about his two dogs.

If you are like me and you like songs that have been made into fabulous picture books, then you will like two of our newest arrivals to the children's department:

Over the Rainbow is a beautifully illustrated picture book of the words to the song made famous in The Wizard of Oz. This is illustrated by Eric Puybaret and has a music cd along with it which is performed by Judy Collins.








Waking Up Is Hard to Do by Neil Sedaka is a catchy tune. The pages are colorful and the music is upbeat and fun.



Check these titles out and make some musical memories with your little one today!

Just a reminder that we will celebrate Valentine's Day all next week in our story times. Snacks are provided but children are asked to bring valentine cards to exchange with our story time friends. As part of our craft, we will decorate bags to collect our valentines. See you there for a fun time!

Book Drive!

Spring is around the corner...yes, it's really true! And if that means your thoughts turn to Spring cleaning, then won't you consider helping us out in the children's department? We are in need of gently used children's books to give away this summer as summer reading prizes. Therefore, we will have a book drive the week of February 28th. This is for children's books ranging from board books on up to teen titles. Bring your gently used book donations to the children's department and place them in the donation bin. Thanks so much!!

Coming Soon!

Join us March 1, 2011 as we kick off Read Across America day! This will be a fun night of games, stories and snacks. You might even win a cake in our Dr. Seuss cake walk! Invite your friends and family for this fun event.
