NORTH WEBSTER — The North Webster Community Public Library encourages everyone to get moving for fun and fitness with a new weekly dance program called “Let’s Move” held every Thursday at 6 p.m. starting June 2. It will be an informal time of dancing fun, learning new dance steps and having a good time. The library will use dance videos and try a variety of dancing styles. You don’t have to be a skilled dancer, because we will all learn together. Dancing is not only fun, but it’s a great form of exercise. No registration is needed. Just bring energy and a sense of humor.
Children will learn how active play keeps them healthy during Family Story Time this summer. Registration starts May 31 for the six-week summer session that runs every Tuesday morning June 14 through July 19 with a choice of two time periods at 10:30 or 11:30 a.m. The kids will learn through stories, crafts and fun, so stop by the Youth Services Desk to sign children up or call (574) 834-7122 ext. 202.
Adults will learn how to make original greeting cards when Hope Beezley teaches the Make and Take Card Class on Thursday, June 2, at 10:30 a.m. The class costs only $7 and includes all card making supplies. Stop by the Circulation Desk to sign up or call (574) 834-7122.
There will be more Make It/Take It fun in the Youth Services Department on Friday, June 3. Kids can drop by the library anytime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to work on a craft or they can take it home to complete. The June 3 craft will be a physical activity cube that can be used in playing games alone or with others.
Echo the therapy Dog returns to the library on Friday, June 3, for Paws-To-Read. Children, ages 5-12, can sign up for a 15 minute session to read aloud to this lovable canine pal. Echo loves to be read to, and it gives kids the opportunity to practice their oral reading skills. Only eight sessions are available that day and registration is required. Stop by the Youth Services Desk to make a 15 minute appointment.
The Summer Reading Program starts June 1. Be sure to bring the kids to the library and sign up. Reading helps prevent learning loss over the summer and makes children better prepared to start school in the fall; plus they will have fun earning prizes, participating in activities, and attending special events.
