Kids' Zone

Let me just tell you something.  Two great things happened to your RLPL children's librarian this week:

1.  I found a baby turtle.

2. WE GOT OUR NEW EARLY LITERACY PANELS MOUNTED IN THE CHILDREN'S AREA!!!

They are seriously very, very cool!  Come check them out!  Come play with them!  (You can even bring your kids if you want…heh heh)

Here's a sneak peak:

Sadly enough, May marks the last month of Afterschool Adventures.  We hope you enjoyed our programs throughout the year! 

You can still catch the last American Girl Book Club: Julie Books – May 10th; Laptops on the Loose: Free Day – May 17th; Create and Construct – May 24th.

The one good thing about the end of our afterschool programming is that it means summer is almost here, and we've got great things planned for our summer library program "Dream Big!"

Here's a great shot of our last creative burst from Lego Club.  Watch for "125 Minutes of Legos" program in July to celebrate 125 years of Rice Lake! 

Help us celebrate National Children's Book Week with pizza and reading!

Drop by for this casual event where you can relax, pick up a book to read with your child and enjoy delicious pizza. 

Do you have a favorite book that you're dying to tell someone about?

Come to Laptops on the Loose this Thursday, April 19th at 3:30pm to make your book trailer!  We will be using One True Media website to make short videos featuring great books.

If you have a favorite book in mind, that's great – otherwise we'll have some provided. 

Hey kids, if you haven't yet gotten the chance to come to our Create & Construct Afterschool Adventure, come this Thursday at 3:30pm!  It's a real hoot and this week you get to make your own catapult!  How cool is that?  Think of all the things you could launch: ping pong balls, jelly beans, meatballs, mini water balloons…the possibilities are endless!
