Once again the Decatur Public Library is full swing in the events of the Big Read program. This time we are joined by the whole state of Alabama as we all focus our minds on one book, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain.
Please take a look at the calendar posted on the children's page of the library's website. You will see that March will be a very busy month with a classical guitarist, a puppet show, and Benjamin Franklin....oh wait! How'd he get in there with the Big Read stuff. Well, he might have been before Twain's time but he was no stranger to tomfoolery which is one of our themes for the storytimes in March. All storytimes in March will be based on events pulled from Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. The themes we chose are: Big River, Pirates, School Days, Caving, and Tomfoolery.
We will end our Big Read event by throwing a Campout Storytime on April 27, 2010. This storytime will take place at 7 pm and will last about an hour. Youngsters are invited to bring their sleeping bags and flashlights to enjoy stories and songs while we "camp out" in the library.
Hey! Check out this creative bulletin board Mrs. Doris put together for the children's department. Pretty fun! Come by and see this one in person!!
